Hey guys,

I am considering starting a blog; what platform do you think would be best for me (regardless of subject matter)?

I use blogger. I did use Wordpress for a while but blogger just seemed easier to use for what I needed it for.

There is also the odd blog utility integrated into other sites. Deviantart has it's own. Some of the writing sites I go to have their own. WP has a blog like feature. Whether it's available to non-members is another question.

I have a wix and a BlogSpot website, if any of those interest you. If Xanga wasn't the way it is now, I would most definitely recommend that to you.

I have experience with the WP blog feature, but it's been a rather long time since I used t with any regularity. As a regular podcast listener, though, I heard Squarespace also lets you do blogs. There's a free trial period with a promo code depending on the podcast to which you're listening. Also, Blogger is affiliated with Google; I've had accounts on two separate occasions and have had both of them deleted for some strange reason.

Small world; not as nice as Saratoga Springs, where I'm from, eh?

Bringing this back to topic: has anyone on this forum used LiveJournal?
