Best free blog?
26 November 2008, 09:24
A friend is looking for a free blog service and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I would be interested in knowing about an online service and possibly an asp script that can be installed. Thanks!<

You could always use blogger - but I would use my own domain name just to make it easier to move to a different service if you decide to later.
I've been looking for the same, and while I've come across a few that look promising, I've come to the conclusion that I just need to roll my own. I've seen a few examples of people (like oxle.com) who have modded the forum to act like a blog. When you think about it, the underlying principle is the same, the display is a little different. I'll probably just mod a Snitz forum to fit my needs.<

I second that with Anon.
The idea being that you can allow comments from forum members while also offering a forum community for your forum members.
I'll be modding my own forum at www.LawRunFarms.com to include a blog based off of the forums. I don't have that site set up for a forum community though, so the blog probably won't entail a comments option.<

I have used this .asp blog, and it was easy to setup and do site intergration with: ASP Simple Blog version 3.0

It uses PHP and Perl with a MySQL back end.

You may have seen this one at aspin. I dont't use a blog but I awhile back I was looking through the free asp based blogs out there and this one stuck out to me. I downloaded it for a test run. It's pretty nice and the code is easy to understand with lots of commenting.
Just spotted this. This guy has some nice templates for wordpress and forest blog, if you go one those routes.
