Blog help

Hi there folks,

Just wondering if anyone here keeps a blog or website and could recommend a good company/host to use?

I write loads of comedy gig reviews among other things and wanted to get it all online to share - the only problem is I've got no idea where to start! Been doing some digging and Wordpress seems popular but also looking at something like 1and1 http://website.1and1.co.uk as it seems to do all the hard work for you (and I'm by no means a techy expert!).

Would love to hear any tips from those in the know!

Cheers

I've used Blogspot and Wordpress in the last year or so. Wordpress is certainly the more professional looking of the two, so I would say go for that. Blogspot may be a little easier to use, but there appears to be less options and control over the design side of things.

That's really helpful - thanks! It sounds like Wordpress might be the way to go then. Basically, so long as it doesn't require coding knowledge or anything fancy then I should be fine.

Looking forward to getting started! Cheers.

You could try submitting pieces to Chortle.co.uk. You'll reach a larger audience, quickly.

I just make little notes on bits of paper and deliver them to my neighbours

I'm on Word Press.

It's my Dad's 1939 diary day by day (although I've got a bit behind!).

I'm almost certain you could type them all up and have them "go live" at a specified time. Don't quote me on that though!
