I have a little blog on blogspot and it's pretty easy to use. It doesn't get a whole lot of traffic but it is a Google product so if I put more effort into it, I would probably do ok.

I have blogged on the free Wordpress platform for years, and have purposely not moved it to a self-hosted platform (although I do have a website I could incorporate it into) because I like the internal 'follower' system and have linked up with lots of fellow bloggers that way, and because I it was easy and low maintenance for me. It also feels less commercial and intimate than most self-hosted blogs, which suited my purposes. I may finally port to self-hosted this year, I am still trying to decide - the downside is that all my followers/subscribers will have to resubscribe, so I may lose some.

I started blogging recently. I use google. I write about all kinds of things, personal and some of our custom embroidered apparel. I have been thinking of porting to my own site. But, for now the free site is working.

Regular posting is probably the biggest factor to getting traffic no matter which site you choose to blog for free.
