I need a Blogging site with these features:

    I need a Blog:

    -Free, without need to download the script and host it
    -Create categories
    -Create new blogs within the same account
    -My contact info on the Home page
    -Easy inviting people to post on

    I can create new blogs within my Blogger account, I can't create categories.
    I can create categories on my WordPress acc., can't open new blogs within the same account.

    O.K., maybe I can, but how?

    1). http://www.wordpress.com allows you to host your blog for free.
    2). You can create unlimited categories
    3). Yes, you can create new blogs within a single "wordpress.com user account" if that's what you meant.
    4). If you wanna put your contact info on the home page, edit WordPress sidebar in the WordPress Theme Editor and add your contact info. (Presentation >> Theme Editor >> look for the "Sidebar" text link on your right hand side.
    5). I didn't get you at the 5th point. Sorry!

    You mean you've already signed up on www.wordpress.com ? You mean you want to have 2+ blogs on it?
    That's easy,why don't you sign up for another account?

    @ VHMTalk:
    3.) Yes I want to open more blogs within the same WP account. I created one blog. How can I create another? Where is "Create new blog" option?
    5.) I intend to invite people to write on my blogs and thus building the content. I want to make "subscribing" as easy as possible.

    Will check blogsome.com now also.

    3). When you are logged into your WordPress account, visit your main blog. You'll see a green bar at the top position. There should be two drop down menus. Check them to create a new blog.
    5). I'm going to give it a try on a wordpress.com account, just to check if its possible.

    I went to Dashboard/Options. There - only existing Blog name and settings can be changed but I don't know how to create a new blog.
    I know I can open new account, but...

    EDIT: I've found out. There is a "Register another blog" link in the middle of the main WP site after login.

    That's why I had instructed to visit your main blog when you are logged into your WordPress account. :)

    O.K.
    Now I need to set categories in Blogger. How? Do I need to use one particular template for this?

    Btw: Once I chose a template, can I change it? How? Must I copy-paste the HTML code?

    Categories in Blogger? Are you using Blogger Beta or Blogger? As far as I know, Blogger doesn't support Cagegories. Google has added tagging system in the new Blogger Beta though.

    Please make sure if you are using Blogger or Blogger Beta! :)

    As far as Blogger template is concerned, you can change each and everything by manually editing that template.

    I'm using "standard" Blogger. I will check beta also but I gave up about categories.
    For templates - I found that there are 20 or so possible to put in or change at any time - automatically also I guess. Anyone tried? Problems?

    Next:
    1. Can I host my Blogger blog on my webhosting?
    2. Can I move my Blogger blog database on other blog (Blogger, Wordpress...). If yes, how? Can I do this alone or...? The same q. for Wordpress blog database.

    As far as WordPress is concerned, you can move your WordPress (with everything else, even DB).

    To know more about moving your Blogger to your own web hosting account, visit Blogger.com and check their help section.


    You can choose any Blogger template (whichever you like) for your blog. Every template is manually editable.

    How can I access the database of my WordPress blog and can I move it alone or...? (For moving forums databases a hosting manager must do it as I know.)

    USE BLogger Beta - it FREE, can create categories (called label, can be rename), can create many new blogs in one account, can place up ur contact info and what ever you think, and of course, you can share you blog with other editors, friend to.

    You can see my blog using blogspot at ppcimages.blogspot.com

    If you want to use wordpress after using blogger, for easily you can import the post from that blogger.

    I dont ever used to moved database when using wordpress |O|
