As a follow-up to yesterday's post about meaningful blogging, one of the writing community staff (thanks, Winter!) recommended that I link to a few services where you can start a blog. Here are my favorites.

  • Wordpress. You can either start a blog for free, hosted by Wordpress, or you can install their blogging software for free on the back-end of your own website (if you're savvy enough to be running your own site).
  • Blogger. Editor Alice Pope swears by Blogger. It's also a free service, and if you already have a Gmail/Google account, you can get started even faster.
  • You can also check out Typepad and LiveJournal.
