I'm looking to start a blog documenting my personal experience and my experience with my local project for raising linux awareness. I starte it on Blogger but it has been... buggy, to say the least.

Can anyone offer me a good site to use where I can get my blog read publicly? I don't have a lot of HTML knowledge for editing templates and the like, so the less the better there...

About Multiply


The best way to share everything

Multiply gives you an easy way to share all kinds of digital content, including photos, blogs, videos, music and more, all in one convenient place: your own personal web site. With Multiply, you can share and discuss your stuff with everyone in your "social network," and also be alerted whenever they have something new.



One home for all of your stuff

Your personal web site on Multiply - http://YOURNAME (http://%3Cfont%20color=%22#CC0000%22%3EYOURNAME%3C/font%3E).multiply.com - is the one place where you can share many different types of content. No longer do you, or your friends and family, need to learn how to use separate sites (and keep track of separate IDs, passwords, and links). Multiply lets you do all of the following:
post digital photos, videos and music
publish your own blog
schedule events and parties on your social calendar
share movie or restaurant reviewsA built-in audience of people who want to hear from you

What good is sharing if there's no one around to see it? Multiply keeps track of who knows whom in your social network, and this allows us to automatically notify these people when you put a new photo album, video or anything else on Multiply. Everyone gets their own personal message board that lets them know when someone in their network is sharing something new. There is no need to send big, annoying e-mails notifying people every time you put something on your site, and nobody has to remember to constantly check each others' sites to make sure they haven't missed something. Multiply does all of this for you.

Get feedback!

When you blog or upload photos or videos on other sites, a few people may notice, but that's about it. Each time you add something on Multiply, we create a thread on your personal message board and give access to all of the people you choose. This makes it easy for your friends and family to give you feedback and it turns your content into fun and lively discussions. You've never been able to keep in touch with everyone in your life in such an easy way.

You'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

With one convenient place to share and discuss your photos, videos, blogs, music, reviews, events and more, and an automatic way to see what's new with people you know, Multiply makes it fun to keep in touch. Your Multiply site comes with free unlimited storage space, so you can make it the permanent home for all of your stuff. For people who take lots of photos and videos, Multiply offers accounts suited for higher monthly activity levels.

Wordpress.com is a good choice. You don't want to edit templates? Wordpress.com doesn't even have such a feature. :D

It seems to be the choice of a lot of developers, though. The software that Wordpress.com uses is open source.

If you already have an account with a profile site like Friendster, Face-pic or Myspace, you can set up a blog with that site. The advantage is that your linked friends will recieve updates if they choose.

Check out mine on Friendster.

Wordpress is a good choice.

Its all nice point and click stuff. wordpress.com will host it and everything. Your pages will even show up on google

Livejournal.com allows you to hide entries. This can be useful.

I haven't used WordPress so I can't comment on it.
