Best Blog Service nowadays?

    Hello guys, I was a very active blogger a few months ago until I had an accident. Now that I want to get back to blogging, which blogger service is the best now? I used blogger, it would let me put adsense and I didnt have to pay any fee. Wordpress, you had to buy your domain to be able to add adsense or pay a fee. Nowadays which one is the best free blogging service that can give you what I am looking for?

    Thanks.

    Eddie

    personal preference I guess.

    I like wordpress, I like to buy my domains.

    If they get popular you can sell them or sell links and make moeny etc.

    if you are a good bloger get a domain and install wordpress.

    Give you two blogroll links and I can get you hosting.


    Thanks

    One more for WP! Easy to use and navigate, good management features. What else do you need?

    Get your own domain and install Wordpress on it. With Blogger, a drawback is that you cannot make categories there (they are introducing them in the new version though). But I'll also suggest you go with Wordpress with your own domain.

    I prefer to use WordPress on my own domain so that one day I will be able to sell it for a profit.

    i will go for wordpress , many people started from blogspot and later move to wordpress . the main reason is use your own domain to blog . i can say that 's the dream of a blogger. if you like to blog , you should know the reason behind !

    perhaps advertiser more prefer if you have your own domain . you 'll get more opportunity to earn .

    If you want to use Wordpress, want to use your own ads, and don't want to pay a dime, you can always use a free host (ie: my own - No Catch :p)

    I would do this on Wordpress before going with Blogger

    It's not down. Your URL in your post has .het in it instead of .net! Signature is fine.

    Check out DreamHost or 1and1 -- they're both relatively reliable and cheap.
