Free blogsites with categories?

Factual Questions
1

I’ve tried searching. Each time I’ve tried, I feel like I’m drowning in sites, but haven’t yet found what I’m looking for. Are there any free sites which offer categories (i.e., an individual post can be stored under one of several topics (e.g., glowworms, graphology and gliding, or aerophagy, arabesques and Atlantis)? :slight_smile: Or am I asking too much?

Photo capability is irrelevant to me, as is using a cell phone to post; it’s how it deals with words that is most relevant, and how fancy I can get with them. I would also be most interested in comments on the usability, etc., of such sites, if anyone has personal knowledge of them.

http://www.textamerica.com/ allows categories, but it is very much a mobile phone centered “Moblog” site. I have a free account there and I like it… but I only use it for photo posts from my phone.

Great. :rolleyes:

I don’t have a cellphone, and I’m not interested in posting photos. Thanks anyway.

You can save entries into different categories using the “memorable entry” feature on Livejournal.

One community there that has a good example of this is weddingplans

You can save an entry under multiple categories.

Unfortunately, LJ seems to be geared to the usual chatty stuff. I hope for my blog to be taken seriously. Have I missed something? Is there anything like that in LJ?

Hmmm, well, I guess LJ has somewhat of a reputation because of the younger crowd that uses the site. I’d say your LJ would be what you made it.

If you don’t like the LJ web address, you can always embed your journal entries into another site with another domain name.

Not sure how the ‘memorable entry’ feature would work along those lines, but it’s something to look into I suppose.

One more note.

Livejournal is open-source, so there are several other sites out there that are very similiar. I don’t know much about any of them, but here’s a good list of some.
