Best Blog Sites?

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone!

I am currently using wordpress, but I find it to be a pain. What are the best/easiest blog site to use that can link to my website and still offer some customizing?

Also, I updated my website at
www.kristinhemphill.com
and would love some feedback.

Thanks.

i personally like tumblr because it's so easy to use from your phone, with twitter, etc. and it is really visually oriented and easy to customize in my opinion.

I just checked out your website! I like it, but it seemed quiet. Can you link some quiet background music to it?

I don't have a blog or website yet, but I am trying to get all the info I can about it. I know there was some discussion on Handmadeology about the pros and cons of Wordpress vs Blogger. Maybe if you do a search you can find the info.

I use Blogger and I like it. There are tons of customizing features and layouts to work with.

Blogger is so far the easiest to use and with most features and most possibilities for customization.

Thanks for the feedback...Well I was changing up my wordpress blog today and got annoyed, thinking there must be a better way. So then I went on to blogger and started a blog there, it is ok. I need to look through more templates and find something that i like...I am going to search handmadeology site (love) and see what others are saying.

As for the music, I hadn't really though about it, usually i find sites with music annoying. Then again, they usually have something loud and somewhat obnoxious playing. Something soft might be nice, but with the flash and all the photos I worry that adding anymore gizmos to the site might make it load slower...thoughts?

After reading a few books and looking at other blogs, I just started mine. I'm using blogger because it's free and easy to use. I'm still tweaking my blog but you can see what I have so far.

Hey King,
I did go and check out your blog and then I went ahead and used blogger for mine yesterday.I did check out some other sites too, but was able to make something ok with blogger pretty quick.
