Blogsome Free Blog Hosting : Wordpress Themes and Image Hosting

April 7th, 2005
ADVERTISEMENTS

Blogging is a way for individuals to publish material on the internet for everybody to read. Blogsome is a free blogging service which uses the excellent open source WordPress publishing application.

The main feature which is unique to Blogsome and separates them are-

Pick a username.blogsome.com address and get started with your new weblog. It gives good competiton to Blogger without paying in your own host or subscription service.

A word about Wordpress first…
blogs are known for their beautiful templates, neat and crisp appearance (more precisely as they say – focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability). But running Wordpress requires expertize, your own webhosting and high end server specifications.

  • PHP version 4.1 or greater
  • MySQL version 3.23.23 or greater

WordPress features:

  • Instant publishing with no rebuilding
  • Comment spam protection
  • Integrated blogrolling features
  • Manage Pages
  • Password-protected posts
  • Custom fields
  • Dead simple upgrades and installation
  • Easy to customize
  • Multiple authors
  • Multiple categories
  • Sub-categories
  • Comment registration
  • Post to future
  • Post by email
  • Full web standards compliance
  • Uses PHP and MySQL
  • Free!

So running wordpress requires your own web hosting and ability to install php scripts. Although they claim it has the famous 5 minute install with good support, it is not so simple for blogging beginners. Blogger has been popular blog hosting for newbies because of its simplicity of use.

Another major feature is the ability to host images. With other blogs you need alternative image hosting solutions like Hello, or the now very popular free image hosting solution like Imageshack. Now Blogsome combines the simplicity of Blogger with the beauty and efficiency of Wordpress.

    Hi,

    At the moment Blogsome does allow Google ads, but doesn’t allow splogs or blogs set up purely for the purposes of SEO.

    Regards,
