Title: which photoblog host is best?
Post by: jshore on February 14, 2007, 09:34:24 pm

I am new to photography. And I want to make a photoblog to post and share the pictures I have taken. I am not a really techy type though.

Which photoblog host should I sign up (like blogger for content blogs)? I want free one (if there is one).

Aminus3.com (http://www.aminus3.com) is a great photoblog community with free photoblog hosting

Why not host your own blog. To me it is far preferable to have a domain name attached to your blog than to have a name like blogger.com/you. Hosting is pretty cheap and most hosting packages provide easy one click Wordpress and Joomla automated install (at least the hosting I provide does in cPanel). When you have a legitimate domain name and hosting package and blog set up, you can always then add a full featured website alongside it. If you are determined to have a free one, Blogger is popular.

It should be noted that Wordpress now offers one click updates.  It used to be a pain to update it.  Now you go to the admin panel.  It tells you there is an update.  You click install.  Done.
