Vox is one of the easy and fun free blog service out there. Vox is fun and casual, and it makes adding content simple and easy. You can add video, audio, photos, in one or two easy steps without touching one single bit of code. Integrate YouTube.com videos or photos from your Flickr account seamlessly and effortlessly. The whole thing is totally automated and super slick. It is completely free.

Vox is great for any type of blogger, experienced or not. And it is really ideal for people who are more interested in a point-and-click type setting, very user-friendly. Those who may be interested in a more exclusive, private setting for their blog or those who enjoy a community vibe might enjoy Vox as well.

One of Vox's fabulous key features is its supreme privacy controls. These controls are far more robust, and they offer more flexibility. While privacy is not the sole reason to join, Vox allow people to share video and photos without exposing them to the entire internet. Since then, it is grown into a much larger blogging tool with many benefits.

Setup Blogger Blog

Setting up a new blog using Blogger is simple. You must have a Google account.

Visit the Blogger website and follow these steps to set up your own blog on Blogger.

1. Set up your Blogger account. The nice part about Blogger being associated with Google is that signing up is a breeze. If you already have a Google account, your information may already be plugged in on the Sign Up page. If it is not and you have a Google account that you wish to associate with this blog, go ahead and fill in your email address and password to login.

If you do not have a Google account, click the link that reads Create Your Blog Now. This will take you to a page where you can set up a Google account and your blog at the same time.

• Enter an existing email address.


• Choose a secure password. Blogger will tell you how safe your password is as you enter it. You have the option of changing it at any time in your Blogger Dashboard settings.


• Re-enter your chosen password for confirmation.


• Enter the word that is displayed in the box for verification.


• Accept the terms of agreement and click Continue. Ensure that you read the terms and agree to it before accepting.

2. Fill in the rest of the info on the next page.

• Choose a title for your blog. Again, some of these details can be changed later, but it is wise to choose carefully from the start.


• Choose a blog address (URL). As with any free blogging service, you are bound to their limitations. All Blogger blogs have the blogspot.com domain name required unless you pay for the upgraded service.


• Click Continue. Blogger will offer you the option of selecting advanced features in order to host the blog on your own website.

3. Choose your template. Blogger provides about a dozen different template designs to choose from. Just choose one of them and you are ready to start blogging.

Blogger

Blogger is a very popular free blogging platform available to anyone with a Google account. Upstart web developers started Blogger as a pet project and later sold it to Google. Eventually, Blogger developed into the vastly popular service today.

Using Blogger is beyond easy and requires almost no technical knowledge to get your blog running. While it is not that feature-rich, with a decent amount of pre-made templates to choose from, all you need is a Google account. You may sign up for a Google account at google.com. It is free, so it is great for bloggers on a budget or inexperienced bloggers looking for a way to get started without too much commitments.

WordPress.com

WordPress.com is a hosted blogging service that runs the WordPress.org software.

WordPress.com allows users to start their own blog in seconds without having to know squat about technical stuff like FTP, database, hosting accounts... This is great for a newbie with basic internet savvy who is trying to get a feel for blogging without any real commitment. WordPress.com wanted to make it easy and fast to sign up and get started, and they did.

This service is free. However you may upgrade your blog with enhanced functionality with a reasonable amount. Extra goodies include more server space to hold photos and customizable CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), which is one of the methods used to give your site design, for those who are a little more advanced. Check out the WordPress.com website to get a full list of their features.
