Anyone know any good sites to start a blog. Im looking for something easy to use, with putting pictures and small video clips. And maybe other customizable things for appearance. And what about a community or a way to get people to look at it. And maybe is there a blog site for science kinda stuff. Im basically trying to make a blog about stuff im working on related to my school work in Biology. Its not for school just stuff im doing at home. Like I bought a microscope with a usb camera and want to post things i find like microbes moving around.

I have two, one private for a group of students to communicate. The other one is not searchable, but there. I'm not an experienced technology person, but find this one easy to use and rarely locks up or has any major issues.

I've had livejournal for about seven years now. A lot of things have changed, though, and unless you're willing to become a paid user (which really isn't too expensive), it isn't nearly as good as it used to be.

I've also heard good things about blogger and wordpress, but I don't have any personal experience with either of them.

I use Wordpress as a standalone, but this is mainly because I want full control over the system. You need a domain and web hosting to do this.

I like Wordpress in that the system seems to make complete sense. I chose it based on reviews I read and comparisons to other systems. I have little trouble teaching people how to use it, even with zero blogging experience. It's only the setting up and alternations that can take a bit of technical know-how.

That said, I'd suggest trying out the Wordpress web-based blog system, as it is the user-friendly version of a good thing. It's similar in setup to blogger.com and other web-based blogging systems.
