“Google has made blogging ubiquitous with Blogger, its freely available and very popular blogging tool. And although there are now literally hundreds of free and premium blogging solutions, many of which do much more than just blogging, librarians and educators will be interested in the most practical blogging solutions. This article will compare the focus, features, and feel (presentation, “themeability,” or layout) of Blogger and another major player in the no-cost blogging arena, WordPress.com. This article will also briefly touch upon some “blogalikes” that perform some specialized pseudoblogging tasks.
