Here is just a short list of blog software that is hosted and available for free:
- Live Journal
- Blogger
- Word Press – has both a free hosted service and a version that can be downloaded and installed on a web server
- Opera
- Tumblr
- Typepad – a paid hosted subscription that allows for a 14 day trial
There are plenty of different blogging software packages to choose from and my no means this list is an endorsment. Please consult the Create A Blog web page at Stanford University for some more information about blogs.
