exploring blogs

I’ve been exploring TypePad (hosted), Movable Type (my own), WordPress (both my own and hosted), and Blogger (hosted). This blog is the hosted version of WordPress, at wordpress.com. Can’t say that so far they are much different from each other, though I can clearly say that having a hosted blog takes a lot less effort than setting up my own, though there is more flexibility in numbers of blogs and users when I have my own. I also have a “personal” and a “community” blog on raincloudpub.com. It will take some time to explore all these and see what works best.
