3- Squarespace
Squarespace is our TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award winning blog softwarethat is actually hosted "on the cloud". It's an easy way to set up a blog, or even a full website that can all be managed remotely. Squarespace has one of the finest interfaces for designing, customizing and personalizing your blog without knowing programming language or finding third party templates. Squarespace is also easy to use and great blog software for someone just starting out.
Standout Features
- Fully hosted
- Unique, modular site components and widgets
- Templates by brand-name designers
- Expandable into a full website
4- LiveJournal
LiveJournal is a vital online community (masquerading as blog software) that was started in 1999 by Brad Fitzpatrick as a way to keep his high school friends up to date. Now on their home page LiveJournal boasts 20.7 million journals and communities created since then. LJ was purchased by Six Apart, Ltd. but is now owned by Russian developers SUP.
LiveJournal is free to join, but the features, storage and image upload capabilities are limited unless you upgrade to the Paid account. This program is ideal for writers and artists with enough technical know-how to figure out how things work and how to make LJ’s features work for them. There are plenty of ways someone with a little CSS and HTML can have a great time here.

5- Blogger
Blogger is the great, widely used blog software developed independently but now owned by the good people at Google. The program is free, easy to use, well organized and intuitive.
Having a blog through Google makes it really easy to monetize – use AdSense to place ads and possibly make some money.
Blogger also provides plenty of challenge for more advanced users who want to customize their blog – build their own templates.
Mobile blogging capabilities are fully utilized here – BlogThis! is a downloadable client. You can also email your posts to publish on your blog or send them from your mobile phone.
The biggest downside to all this free is being stuck with a subdomain and no tracking or traffic stat tools – they are available as add-ons and you will have to pay for them. (You can buy a domain name through Blogger, though).
