Some people may have seen me talking about how I'd like to make a blog on crap I want to rant about, and I just recently wrote a HUGE list of things I'd like to see in a Zelda game, and it's triggered a decision that I want a blog and I was wondering, what do you guys recommend in the way of blog websites and hosting?

As a promotional offer, I will set you up a milliBlog at a subdomain of your choice at milliblog.org, server maintenance and all. Free of charge. No strings. Let me know if you're interested and I'll PM some info to you.

It's some really lightweight open-source blog software I wrote (with contributions from some other dudes). The formatting system is Textile. HTML works in it too.

Tumblr is full of butts and I hate it but I still go there.

For actual blogging, I like LiveJournal but it's probably not what you're looking for. :I

I've used Google's Blogger in the past and it was alright- of course I lost interest in the blogs themselves pretty quickly.

I use a modified version of a certain friend's blogging software he used to use.
link is in my signature and all that.

If you want one, just ask, I have the space & bandwidth if you're interested at all.

Same here.

Actually, Blogger might work quite well for your purposes, Zero One.

Tumblr is like work. You hate going, but you still go.

These people have it covered a million times over. I just wanted to note that blogging is actually quite old now, not quite the bandwagon it used to be.

Though I still refuse to blog because I feel anything worth using has to prove itself over the course of years--that is, new internet mediums. Not so picky with other things. :p

Blogspot works (or worked, haven't updated it in nearly two years) fairly well for me. I can't imagine it's changed so fundamentally to where it's a terrible choice these days.

I love Tumblr. No way I can compare it to the hatred that I feel about my job.

That's because you're not involved in the Tumblr section of the Homestuck fandom.

So much loathing. u_u

(the political and ~*Social Justice*~ parts of tumblr are horrible too)

Tumblr is the place nobody can truly consider a safe haven. And yet, so many are drawn to it as if it were.

Basically this.

I've been outright attacked there for the UNTHINKABLE CRIME of having a stalking trigger.

I've never been attacked myself, just my dash ends up flooded with bullshit at random because people I thought were cool became total dicks. I don't really post much on there anymore though. Not enough quality to be attracted as much as I used to be.

Old art got onto a bad art blog (that I had just luckily happened to been subscribing to), but thankfully it was removed when I asked. Got me off my ass to delete my old dA account out of panic, but the point is still made.

Still fun to just muck around with, though.

Also, ZeroOne, I had just remembered that I had to maintain a blog for my class last fall on Wordpress. You might want to check that site out. At least I think it's called Wordpress. Definitely Wordsomething, because one is a free online blogging site and the other's a paid program to customize and further enhance the online blog.

Paulguy's Post configuration
Wordpress is also a standalone web-app that the free service is based on (the web-app is also free), that you can put on your own server if you want. It requires PHP and mysql.

I've tried to start a blog and always got bored of it.
