So I agreed teach a seminar how-to on blogging. I have a blog; but it’s really more of a website with a blog page than a regular blog from a blog service. I ran my high school reunion website/webpage through a service that functions very much like a blog service (I think); so I have a clue how they might work. I have not, however, used a regular blog service for a regular blog. I plan on doing some research, but I thought I’d start here. What I’m looking for in this thread is some real-world user insight: What service do you use and do you like it? Is it free but places ads on your page? Do you pay for an ad free page? What other insight do you have?
