nameless_girl Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 So I've been thinking of getting my own web page - nothing big, just one of those things where you get to write different "articles" inspired by some arbitrary thought that happened to have passed through your mind at some point in time. I get a lot of those random musings and I'm rather fond of jotting them down, so I thought that maybe I might want to make a few of them public and, you know, share or express myself or do whatever it is I'm trying to do... (And that way I could put them on my page and not have to make pseudo-philosophical threads all the time )So anyone know how I should go about getting a comfy little internet spot for myself? I'm not paying for anything, so I take it I'll have to ask someplace where they just plaster your page with adverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameless_girl Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 A Blog? Yeah, but I want to have my own page - not just blog on one of those, uh, "corporation sites." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) You could sign up to Wordpress, pimp it out however you like, then simply buy a domain name (costs literally pennies if you go to the right site) and have it redirect. For example: http://www.katiemarie.net/Edit: Although looking at that, I think you'll need to pay a bit on wordpress too if you want the best service. It used to be totally free. Tsk.

Rick Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Many ISPs give ad free webspace with your package. It's worth seeing if you have any with them before going elsewhere.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackamo! Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I never thought I'd say this, but good thinking, Jackamo(!)I'm a freakin' genious. Just make a free Piczo site & type away. It's free and easy.Mind you it's Piczo not Pizco. Unless you wanna see some French Porn, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 For what you want, i'd recommend 50Webs free plan. You only get 60mb of storage, but there are no ads, and for what you want, you shouldn't need much storage anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls_Disillusion Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I recommend wordpress on a cheap 10 dollar a month shared hosting plan. With that and a domain you are looking at a 20 dollar investment which should not be hard to make back quickly with your blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swlabr Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 livejournal.com? not a 'corporate site' but i find it to be much more useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless_girl Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Thank you I'll check those out and see what's best. Any further suggestions are always welcome, of course.Anyone actually want to have the link to that once I start making it? Just wondering, PM me if you do (soon isn't the word, though).

LCG Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Many ISPs give ad free webspace with your package. It's worth seeing if you have any with them before going elsewhere.R.My ISP does this too, however like most other ISPs they do not provide webspace that does not support PHP or have a MySQL database (in other words you can only upload files and simple web pages not blogs).Personally I'd sign up at http://wordpress.com and get a free blog there. It's customizable(ish) and it's not exactly corporate like livejournal or whatever it's called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
