Blogger ~ Creating your blog with Blogger takes just a few easy steps. In a matter of minutes you can start posting text, photos, videos, and more to your blog. Post as often as you want; it’s free.

WordPress.org is a state-of-the-art open source publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. This service is great for bloggers who don’t intend to sell anything on their blogs and want an easy to use system.

WordPress.com ~ is brought to you by some of the same folks who work on the open source blogging software available at WordPress.org. WordPress.com is a hosted version of the open source package where you can start a blog in seconds without any technical knowledge. Almost everything on WordPress.com is free, and they do offer paid a la carte upgrades for things like CSS editing and custom domains. (This is the version we use for several of our blogs). This is the one we use and recommend.

Typepad ~ WordPress and Blogger offer a basic blog for free, while TypePad charges a subscription fee. Why? Because TypePad offers you more: professionally designed themes, control over your content, and ways to make money. Best of all, everything is included in one up-front fee.

Medium – Medium has grown into a community of writers, bloggers, journalists, and experts. It is an easy-to-use blogging platform with limited social networking feature – similar to a social networking site, you can create an account and start publishing your articles
