Hey, what kind of blogging script does everyone here use?

Is it free or Commercial?

Howe much does it cost?

Just a simple question ^^

Use a free blog script. It works the same way as a commerical one but is free. Just a reminder:

If you plan on using a free blog script, host it on your site and do NOT make an account on blogspot or any similar site. Make sure you have a domain name too : yoursite.com/net/org

Blogs are great because you can link them to partner sites and etc. It can really replace your company site.

I know what makes blogs great. I use them.

However, I find that with Commercial ones they tend to be more customizable and have less `made with:` Messages.

I have a blog that has a direct link from my website. I use Blogger - I find it very easy to use and customize to my needs, plus its free.

Wordpress is a great freebie to use. I'd also go along with the others who say to buy your own domain name and have your site hosted on a site where you pay a monthly fee. That way you have complete control of the site content.

Wordpress is the widely used one. Joomla is a close favorite. In my view there is no distinct advantage in using paid blog scripts and the free ones are as good as the paid ones.
