Free blog tools - Wordpress
Wordpress - the powerful and flexible blogging software that drives lots of sites. Others swear by Movable Type and Textpattern. There are also on-line tools such as Blogger and the very speedy but teeny Blogomonster and MT’s Typepad.
To unleash the full power of Wordpress you still have to get a bit techie. A hyperactive team of volunteers is constantly improving it, so it’s bound to get easier and better with each edition.
Take a look at wordpress.org (free blogging software) and wordpress.com (free blogs managed by the developers of the WordPress software).
