I’ve been uploading my video tutorial one week ago but I am having a hard time to wait for it until it was uploaded. While uploading the video, here’s some sweet strawberry for you!

Are you planning to have your own blog site? As what you have read on the title, yes it’s FREE. You can use these Blogging Platforms to make your own blog site. Most of my readers who are new to the cyber world want to have their own blog sites or what we called “online diary”. People’s attention nowadays is more of interest on sharing their own lifestyle by publishing their photos, videos, thoughts, artworks and etc. Then, what do you need to do to make your own blog site? You don’t have domain and hosting site? It’s not a problem anymore!

Okay, all you have to do is register the following Blogging Platforms which I’ve researched. These are all popular Blogging Platforms here in the Philippines. Yup, these might be the “TOPs” although not exactly, but I’m sure these are popularly used by the Filipino Bloggers.

2. Blogger is a blog publishing service that allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was created by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at subdomains of blogspot.com. Up until May 1, 2010 Blogger allowed users to publish blogs on other hosts, via FTP.
