Which sever or host should I choose for my blog,free or charge? When I heard that many people really want to know about China,and learn chinese,I really want to help,so I think that maybe I should take a chance to write blog to introduce our China.Now I am just worrying about which sever or host I should choose.I must make sure people all over the world can visit my blog,but now I am not very sure if I should buy charge space,to be honest,I am not famillar with WordPress now.Is somebody can help me?Thanks.Have New Year!

got blog ? - Do you know what a blog is for ?
I have no idea when it comes to blogging. I dont really even get what a blog is. Other then someone typing a journal online, which really to me is kinda weird. Why would you want just anyone to be able to read your inner thoughts that you write down? Maybe i am wrong, maybe that is not what a blog is about.. Maybe you can explain to me what one does when they have their own blog:)

Haha,thanks for you comments.I'd like to let you know what blog is.A blog don't only mean the inner dthoughts of one,but it just like the website do,it can share informations,download,good articles,music,movie,photoes,etc. In short,it is just like a website,but it has its characters,for example,it is usually small,but fine,not like the website so large. I want to introduce China,it is my Theme,of course maybe there are many website are doing this.But I have confident from all my mylot friends.I hope people would like to understand China,and learn Chinese,I want to a guide but not the teacher.So what do you think of my words?

Hi Lyn, Wordpress is one of the most robust blogs in the planet. It's available in 2 flavours, one is to create a user in their site and have a domain with their name in it like ****.wordpress.com . This isn't professional, though free. The other flavor is to have you own domain name and space and then ran the wordpress blog in it. There are a thousands of ready made templates you can choose, all for free. You can then apply for payperpost to monetise it and start earning and recover what you have spent on domain name and space. If you are interested then $10 is what it'll costs to have a domain name and I can give you a decent space in a US server for support for another $15. Happy New Year.

I suggest you www.Blogger.com Its free, has no bandwidth limits. At wordpress, freewebs etc you have to pay for getting more bandwidth. its very easy to use. i have my blogs at blogger only.

Ok, Live Journal had difficulty loading into your system because of speed time, and you can't spend any money for space so basically you are looking for something in dial-up capability that serves as a foundation for teaching Chinese and the culture of to avid readers . . . how about a blogging site that doesn't pay you money but gets read by lots of people ? Try this . . . http://enlightenedpsych2.blogspot.com/ Also know that while on myLot you can do alot for those that wish to learn about your country just by posting particular facts many of us might not know about. Here you know you can earn some money so start with the basics. sharing the light and happy holidays, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment_Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire http://www.freewebs.com/online-biz/affiliates.htm

I find livejournal.com to be the easiest to navigate. There is also www.thumblogger.net www.blogspot.com as well. They are all good sites that are easy to navigate and you just sign up for a user name and account. You don't have to pay for them, and they also are easy to update!
