Considering building a web site, with 2 blogs built in (for ease of daily update). Husband has the web site building skills, and the ISP. Anyone familiar with cheap/free blogging apps that one could use in this context?
Don't want the advertising stuff that comes with the usual blogs. Thanks! |

Also very easy to integrate Blogger (www.blogger.com) into your Web site. Very simple to use, looks great. |

Slightly less sexy than MT, but the community around it (devs as well as those less geeky) is terrific with support and it's completely open source. Take a peek through the support forums and you'll see what I mean: http://support.wordpress.org |

Or if he doesn't want to spend the time building the site, he can use existing free or cheap blog sites. I suppose he has rejected that idea. How come?

Well, design for one. I believe he wants a little more je ne sais quoi around it, with the blog/s imbedded as a feature, but not the whole thing. Also, no want no ads... |
