Blogging is the new “in” thing in the web world. The blogosphere is growing exponentially and as per current growth there is no looking back. From personal blogs to business blogs, the ultimate amount of flexibility that Blogs offer has made them a thing for one and all.
Thousands of new blogs are coming up everyday and each with a somewhat different purpose. Some blog to maintain a personal journal, some for money, follower-ship, fame or just to promote your business or products.
One can blog using the various Content Management Systems available in the market. I personally prefer using WordPress due to the flexibility it offers in both Design and Search Engine optimization.
There are currently a lot of websites that offer you both free and paid ways platforms to create your own blog. As per my experience, I would recommend going with the self-hosted version of wordpress, but if you are not able to afford a domain and a hosting for your blog then here are Top 5 websites to Create your blog for absolutely free.
