Top 5 Free Blogging Sites.If you are thinking of creating a blog it’s a great idea. Blogs are a great way to share your knowledge, your discovery or just for fun some articles. The first thing to write a blog is to create a your own blogging site and then hosting it. But if you don’t want to get into the hassles of developing a site, hosting, Domain and deploying then you can choose any of the free blogging sites mentioned below.
(1)Blogger :-
Well, this website needs no introduction. Almost every new blogger starts from Blogger.com. If you want to start a new blog, I recommend you to go for Blogger.com. After gaining experience and skills you can then move to WordPress.
Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at a subdomain of blogspot.com. Up until May 1, 2010 Blogger allowed users to publish blogs on other hosts, via FTP. All such blogs had (or still have) to be moved to Google's own servers, with domains other than blogspot.com allowed via custom URLs.Unlike Wordpress, Blogger cannot be installed in a web server. One has to use DNS facilities to redirect a blo gspot domain to a custom URL.
(2) WordPress :-
Now you might have confused because I talked about WordPress before. But it is different as people are having fun with WordPress so WordPress used his own web development software and created WordPress.com to have fun. It is also one of the major blogging sites besides WordPress even better than that as I have experienced. You can choose your gorgeous themes, free SEO, anti-spam filters, traffic status and more. If you are not satisfied with it you can go premium (yeah premium) which includes upgraded web hosting resources, Domain name and more.
But the only problem is this you can’t add your Google Adsense or other advertisement on it. They have their own earning program but they don’t allow you others
(3) Tumblr :-
While Blogger is an easy way to set up a full-fledged blog, Tumblr is an interesting fusion between a full-fledged blog and a Twitter feed. Known as short-form or micro blogging, the style of blogging on a Tumblr blog is focused on short and frequent posts that are normally longer (or more focused on media like images or video) than Twitter updates but not as involved and formal as a regular blog post. It's a style that appeals to a lot of people and the ease of setup coupled with the informality of Tumblr is a winning combination for people who aren't looking to commit to a blog as an involved and time-consuming project. If this is the first time you've come across the concept of micro blogging, make sure to check out Tumblr's About Us which provides an interesting picture of micro blogging.
(4) Posterous :-
Posterous is similar to tumblr and is very popular among micro bloggers. Posterous is owned by micro blogging leader Tweeter! Posterous is famous for online sharing and mobile blogging. Posterous is a free and cool blogging platform to start your own blog site for free.
(5) Blog.com :-
Blog.com offers free blog hosting with unlimited bandwidth for free members, more benefits for paid members.
It is also based on WordPress web development software. It will give beautiful premium themes for free as well as advance plugins and unlimited bandwidth which we can only expect in self hosted blogs. But the problem is their free service show more ads than wordpress.com.
