 |
|
| I'm looking for a home for my blog. I used to use the blog facility on MySpace but as I'm going to be deleting my profile soon I thought I'd look for a new home for it. So if any one has any suggestions i would appreciate them. I will say now that it will not just be about Linux but other stuff that happens in my life.

Does wordpress host blogs or just provide the software for you to host one on your own server?
There's also Blogger (if you have a gmail account, you have a blogger account) and LiveJournal unless that's still by invite only.

Had a look at Wordpress and didn't like it same for LiveJournal. I have 2 gmail accounts so I'll give Blogger a look.

There is nothing wrong with having choces of which blog you wish to use, but I did use blogger.com a while back.
When I started to pay more attention to the quality of my web sites with making sure they were valid according to The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) using their Markup Validation Service.
I noticed that other blogging sites made my valid web content not validate because of the fact that the code on their blogging sites themselves were not valid.
So that is why I switched._________________ This block is for DISTRO information ONLY, all other information will be removed by the Site Administrators.
