Wordpress anyone?
It seems I might be leaving the Blogger system, which has served me quite well in my blogging years... ahh seem so old now, and try to adapt to the widely spoken and comprehensive blogging system on the internet; WordPress.
However to maintain an advertisment free wordpress based blog, you will need to install WordPress on your own server (keeping it mind it supports .php) meaning you need to download the required files from their website.
But this got me thinking since WordPress is free, according their main website it might be possible to have free blogging services on the internet that might just host a blogging interface much like WordPress or even better using the WordPress system itself.
And this is when I stumbled across quite a few free WordPress blogs hosts, however I have yet to find one decent and stable enough and advertisement free but I guess overtime we might see something arise with WordPress-i-goodness and the stability of Blogger (server wise) I mean come'on let's face it, blogger does have a pretty good server host and rarely down - nothing like some good old ass-licking more like it here now huh? As for advertisments free? Well I can't complain, becuase that would never happen or will it?
Those of you who would like to use WordPress but unable to host on your own server the WordPress system, then maybe you could give the following free WordPress based blogging services a go;

Those of you who would like to use WordPress but unable to host on your own server the WordPress system, then maybe you could give the following free WordPress based blogging services a go;
- Blogsome A pretty decent free host, with minimum advertisments, that appear not too distracting to readers. However I dislike the format of running WordPress multi user edition (but that's obviously just a personal objection)
- Free Blog City As if the name doesn't give it away the impression it's a cheap free host (it makes sense... think about it) looking at the mainsite certainly doesn't give quite an overwhelming impression, but reading in a side column of what its got to offer, fair enough - and seems like it's running the single user version of WordPress (which is all in well good for myself).
But here is the let down limited features they didn't want you to know before signing up; limited themes (just one plain looking main theme) however is customizable with what colours etc through the css. But that's it, not even a chance to browse over the dozen of themes WordPress actually has in itself. - Blogthing Another host I stumbled across and from what it looks like on paper, it maybe the best free WordPress host there is, but at the time of writing I was unable to sign up due to database issues, so I was unable to have a hands on with this service, but anxiously waiting to give to it ago once their database issues are resolved.
