peter: thanks for your update on the Blogger situation -- indeed, this test is quite outdated, and the blogging tool scene has changed quite a bit since I did it.

Next time, however, I'd appreciate if you tried to town down the self-promotional tone of your message. Parts of your message read so much like PR copy that I almost sent your comment to the spamtrap.

This post is dated December 11th, 2004 and is outdated. With the New Blogger, (formerly Bloggr Beta) you have categories (called Labels) now, something you said is missed sorely in Blogspot, drag and drop LAYOUT which enable an non-HTML savvy blogger to easily customize their blogs without having to get into the template editor. It is very easy to set up and run. And you can get lots of tips from Blogger Tips and Tricks which have received lots of good comments from grateful bloggers. See Comments left on Blogger Tips and Tricks by grateful bloggers. Not only that, a DMOZ human editor found the blog informative and have listed it in DMOZ. See DMOZ, the most important directory, and Blogger Tips and Tricks got listed without even submitting.

Plus the author have been honored as a BlogStar by Blogger as announced in the official Blogger blog - Blogger Buzz. See BlogStar.

Plus Google have been extremely generous. They even allow custom domain which mean you can register your own domain and get Blogger to host it free for you. Not only that, they generously allow you to place ads, even those that compete with Google AdSense. What more can you ask? I have no hesitation in recommending Blogspot.

I've tried all the hosted blogging platforms and I must admit BlogSpot was very impressive but you'll never beat having your own Wordpress blog in my opinion. It gives you so much more functionality.

May I also recommend to have a look at http://www.terapad.com/
I'm biased of course, but it's the only blogging platform I know of that also integrates a paypal-ready shop, discussion forums, CMS, image gallery, career tools and a kitchen sink. Ok maybe not kitchen sink but you get the point :-D

je suis sur http://www.travelblog.fr, un équivalent de skyblog et ça marche on ne peut mieux. Ceux qui ont créés ce service ajoute continuellement des fonctions et ça reste très facile. Les blogs sont thématisés avec des annuaires, ça évite de lire des trucs nuls !!! Je suis curieux de connaitre ton avis dessus. En tout cas c'est gratuit, pas comme chez loic !!!!

Is this all about fun-only journals? I see no mention of money from adverts. Do any of you try to make any money from your web journals?

Blogsome — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 13:56:21 -0000

Je voudrais vous dire que < un href="http://www.blogsome.com">Blogsome est devenu encore mieux avec beaucoup de nouveaux templates de WordPress qui sont extrêmement bien fait. Il y a toujours un accueil chez Blogsome pour les gens d'un pays fracophone. Nouse avons beaucoup des bloggers francophone. Excuse mon francais.

Just to let you know that Blogsome has got even better with a bunch of new WordPress templates which are extremely well designed. It only takes 2 minutes to get up and running with it.

je me permets de t'intéroger en direct, un "ami à toi" ayant fait un coup de pub pour ton article "at home" (http://biologikpolitik.over... )... "et quel est ton point de vue sur over-blog (www.over-blog.com) ? connaissais tu cette plate-forme (créée en sept 04 (à peu près, pour la "version" publique), environ 7000 blogs actifs (je crois) dont plus de 300 créés hier en 24h...?

gratuit, indépendant, et les mecs ont de grosses c... enfin, ils en veulent... Un avis extérieur plus objectif ?!"

je suis curieux :D

Thanks for the very useful writeup. A couple of comments:

As well as being an aggregator, Bloglines is also an extremely basic free hosting platform. In fact, I use it for
one of my blogs.

Adding trackback to Blogger is free and easy, thanks to Haloscan. I've added it to another of my blogs.

I've tried a number of blogging resources too and see here that I missed some. The ones I've tried are: Blogger/BlogSpot (which I still have--5 Blogger blogs, actually), AOL (where my photoblogs are and where I have ftp space with my membership), LiveJournal (which I also kept), BlogDrive, Blog-City, modblog, MSN Spaces, DiaryLand, and Bravenet. I was going to try Xanga, but it was skewing a bit too young for my tastes. I didn't try all the things you did but was mainly interested in ease of setting up and customizing a blog with a free, online service and IMO, Blogger won hands down. I would like them to add categories, tho. And I like LJ for the Friends feature, which is why I kept it. It's like having a little bulletin board with how the comments can be in answer to each other.
