Weblog Software

Will’s post today about mo’time Web Logs is of particular interest to me.  I’ve been thinking about what weblog software to use for the online session for ESL teachers that I will be doing in January. I need it to be free so the ESL teachers taking our course will be able to create their own blogs during the course. This sounds like it might just fit the bill.  I wanted a free one that would allow for comments. I wish it had pictures, too, but that is not as important as the comments. I’m going to be sure to try this one out.  We’ll be using Manila for the course blog, but I’m curious if anyone has strong recommendations on the many free ones that seem to be appearing recently.  I’m having trouble keeping up with them - that’s a good thing though!

 

Or does anyone know where there is a good comparison of the various free ones?

    Just went to check out Antville at http://www.antville.org, which is a neat looking blog,that Karen McComas at Marshall U. used, but there are no vacancies! That leaves Blogger and the cool new one that Will found.

    Went to my disruptive tech site. http://www.disruptivetechnology.net/blog/archives/cat_blog_hosting.html

    Crimson Blog is free, along with free conversant.

    Good luck
