Blogsome: Free WordPress Blogs

Posted December 5th, 2004 at 11:03pm

Don’t know if there’s a catch, as their “Terms of Service” page is currently exactly the same as their home page. Still, it might be worth a shot: Blogsome: Get your FREE blog now.

People say you get what you pay for, but sometimes you get a little more. I managed to get a free year of website hosting at 1&1 by responding quickly to a free offer. Been extremely pleased with them ever since.

All the same, I think I’d wait a little while before entrusting any material with them. So many questions…. How do you back up your data? Do they have a scary terms of agreement like MSN Spaces, where they get the rights to your words? Do they charge extra for certain features and storage? What’s the projected uptime? What’s the situation with plug-ins? How do you know you’re in good hands? What’s the privacy policy? etc., etc., etc. …

Update: Just saw a reference on PhotoMatt to two more free WordPress blog hosting sites: BlogThing and WordpressBlogs.
