Bini Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I currently have, though dormant, a LiveJournal but am thinking about using another site for daily or weekly blogging. Or maybe there's a feature or widget on Facebook that does this? I'm wanting to start a blog that family and friends can follow with ease.

Wingnut Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Blogger is probably the most popular. It's free and easy to use. Wordpress is another very popular one. Wordpress offers both free and paid services. Another platform I've seen around a lot is Squarespace, but I've never looked into it, so I don't know anything about their services or features.

cofchristcousin Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 wordpress has a feature that shares you blog post on facebook automatically. That's probably a popular feature now on most blog platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I use wordpress and I have friends that use typepadI knew there was another one I couldn't remember -- Typepad.wordpress has a feature that shares you blog post on facebook automatically. That's probably a popular feature now on most blog platforms.Facebook will do it for you, regardless of your platform. I import mine using Networked Blogs, which is a Facebook app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm not familiar with Squarespace or Typepad but I am somewhat familiar with Wordpress. It's good to know that many of these will import onto Facebook. Thanks for the heads up. I'm not very Facebook savvy etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscherck Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 If you're willing to shell out about $20 you could likely get your own domain and hosting company, then you could do your own wordpress powered blog. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want simple and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
