I've decided that I kinda want to do a blog  



The only host I've used before is Blogger,

and even though I like the lack of ads,
I'm not a huge fan of the lack of customization


unfortunately I have no site of my own sooo ~


do you guys have any suggestions for a (free) host?

You can actually get hosted on http://wordpress.com/ , the bonus being that wordpress is a very robust blogging platform and you can do alot with it.

hope that helps

...lack of customization? You can basically write most of the HTML yourself. Doesn't get much more customizable than that.

well if you cannot tell by my layout,
html an I don't always see eye to eye


but yeah, the html control seemed to be similar to google sites.
The give you control of roughly half of the page


but I might have been just screwing it up

I used to use wordpress but I got too much spam and it was a bit of a pain. Funny, but now I'm using wordpress again for a site that I write for.

For blogs, personally, I like Tumblr the best.

I am actually thinking of starting a blog myself. I was going to try Wordpress; but Anya's mention of spam kind of worries me a bit. What did you mean by Wordpress having too much spam Anya?

krutomisi, what is your blog about?

Spam in my comments. I kept getting emails that I had a new comment and it would always be spam. Finally I got fed up with it and trashed the account.

I third the notion of Tumblr. I used to have Wordpress but it fell out of favor due to spam comments (like Anya mentioned) and just things not working out.

So far, Tumblr has not given me any issues. I would plug my blog but it is inactive and nobody reads it anyway. >.>

I like tumblr, buuut...

It doesn't let you set a directory for it to take, it only takes a domain, so you can't use say http://www.yoursitehere.lol/blog/ you can only use http://www.yoursitehere.lol

Wordpress can be installed in a directory, so it's physically on that place.
