Hello,

I am having visions about opening up an economics blog for AS/A-Level students/UNI students/people just curious in economics.

Does anyone have any tips about how to go about this? I imagine i'll have to pay for a domain? are there any good programs for basic websiting, such as blogs?

Thanks for the help,

Pretty sure myspace and facebook offer a blogging feature may aswell use that and save yourself a few quid if it's about economics after all. Shed loads of other site offer blogging account aswell with out all the networking rubbish, pretty sure blog spots free, infact just type "free blog" into google and you should get plenty of info.

Try:A Google search for "free blog hosting" would've given you the results - try and use it next time.

Last time I checked a forum is for discussing things etc.

Besides, 'free blog hosting' gives thousands of results - i'd rather know from others which one(s) are the best.

Thanks guys ^^

Do any blog companies offer the ability to have say '20 words on the front page' and then a 'read more' tag?

Bloggers doesn't appear to.

Put some effort in instead of running to the forums. Surely you could've read through some of the search results first to get some idea?

So try Wordpress then.
