I recently tried myspace, thinking it was more of a blogging site than a .... well.... whatever it is, I don't have a nice name for it. I have another thread hatin' on myspace, ha ha. I still go back to livejournal - they have since fixed the technical problems and the site's workes great now.
Google has one called blogspot, but it doesn't seem easy to use, and it doesn't have the privacy features that I personally like.
Reyn has lead me to consider a photoblog. Any suggestions as to which site would be best?
http://www.sulekha.com/ is basically meant for Indians but people of any nationality can join.
And yes, if you typed "get a free blog" in google, you'll get a lot of useful results upto the first 4-5 pages. "blog" or "blog search engines" are too basic queries for a google search.
