Hey guys, I've decided I would like to share my gaming experience, photos, AARs etc in a blog of my own. Any recommendations for a blog service (or whatever it's called)…and that wording may illustrate how much help I need in being easy!! I figure I'll do comments, pictures, not much more. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Rob

I use Blogger link
..will give you a lot of help. Its as simple or complicated as you want.

I recommend it.

Wordpress is another option. I've used it for years.
wordpress.com

Yup Wordpress is a good option, and can be free, or hosted with a bought domain name.
used it for ~5 years and now using it to host a .gov.uk domain for our council.

Blogger is the way to go.

Oh Bugger22 May 2016 7:44 a.m. PST

Blogger is very good and free. I'm new to it but it all works just fine.

MajorB22 May 2016 7:53 a.m. PST

Blogger is very good and free.

So is Wordpress.

Oh Bugger22 May 2016 8:34 a.m. PST

Yes, as Giles the Zog already noted above.

Am I missing your point? Do you use either of them if so how are you finding the system?

Blogger for me too.

I thought Wordpress was a thing for setting up websites? (the top three layers of our main corporate site runs on wordpress).

I thought Wordpress was a thing for setting up websites?

It is. But it also does blogs very well. After all, what is a blog, but an easily managed web site?

Blogger works for me

Ran The Cid22 May 2016 11:09 a.m. PST

Wordpress.com is the free hosted version.
Wordpress.org provides the software to create your own servers.
