http://product.wordpress.com and you can build as many of these free
sites as you like.
The positives of using the Wordpress.com system is that you are on a
domain that has a very high page rank, lots of visitors and tons of
help. Even if you’ve never set up a blog before, it’s so easy that you
can get started and not feel overwhelmed.
Blogger: Another free platform that is owned by Google is great to set
up a blog on. Again, you will be a subdomain like
http://product.blogspot.com, but it’s free, there’s no webhosting fees
involved and you can set it up without any HTML, programming or web
design experience. You simply pick from one of the many themes
presented, and your blog is ready to go.
Having a Blogger blog gets you listed in Google (since they own it),
and makes it easy to get your message out there.
Joomla: Although Joomla is free, they don’t have a free site where you
can build on a subdomain. Joomla is an award-winning content
management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and
powerful online applications.
Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made
Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all,
Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.
With that said, Joomla has a ton of online help just like WordPress;
however, you will have to get webhosting and a domain name in order
to use it.
