chrismada9 1,948 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Okay guys, so I'm looking to start a blog solely to do with Chelsea, because I feel as if I have a lot to say about the subject, and I was wondering if anyone could think of some good blogging sites I can use to get started! Preferably one that's a relatively popular choice among regular bloggers! And just to say in advance! Please don't just say twitter ... because on there you're restricted to 140 characters, and that's not essentially blogging in a sense! Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 In terms of a 'pure' blogging site, I prefer Wordpress over Blogger. It's less restrictive. Though if it's something casual like you're saying I'd co-sign KV's shout of Tumblr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumblr is more user friendly, easy to catch followers too. With things like WP you have to develop a reputation and it's difficult in the initial stage to get subscribers.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've found that there are two ways of setting an account up...The .org way, where you have to assign yourself to a web hostThe .com way where you can sign up for a free account... but I've found that ads will show on your blog if you don't register for the Premium version, which you gotta pay for!I find the second point rather off-putting!If I can't make up my mind, I might just have to use tumblr...
