Late Post

Seems that I've already got tired of this site. Whew!!! That was fast. Anyway, a slow start is better then nothing.

The thing I consider when choosing a host are as follows :
i) Availability of templates.
ii) Ease of use.
iii) Layout customization.
iv) Ads.

It's easy to look for a free host for blogs but there're many that doesn't allow for layout customization. Yahoo 360 for instant, it does not allow you to remove some of the layout stuff. If unproperly manage, the site will look messy and clustered with too many information and difficult to navigate.

There're some other site that have so many ads on them that readers don't really know where to start reading. Furthermore, most blog host have a limited number of template to choose from. You're really stuck with what they give you.

Overall, I find that Blogspot is the best. It doesn't really have what I wanted but it's the best of what I can find. There're plenty of template available on the net for Blogspot and some are really beautiful. But the downside is that most of them are outdated and cannot be use for the new format that Blogspot implemented. Of course I can create my own, but that'll take up alot of my time. In the end, I just choose the avalaible template and modify some of the parameters to make it look the way I want it to be. It may not look nice but considering that it came from someone with no I.T. background and couldn't draw a circle properly, I'll say that it's acceptable.
