Make Your Own!

Here is a short list (by no means exhaustive) of some blogging platform sites that will allow you to start your own blog for free. Naturally, there is almost always an option to upgrade to a premium (meaning pay) plan, but for your initial needs, the free software works great!

For a great blog that utilizes Moveable Type, check out

Want to read other people's blogs without having to search them all independently? Take advantage of RSS feeds !

This is an easy site to use if you would like to be able to read blogs - everything from news sources, to personal blogs - easily. Essentially, you will be making your own personal newspage with content that you enjoy. You don't need any special software, and you can access your feeds from any computer with internet access - much as you can with regular email. Registering is free and easy, and you can start searching for and subscribing to blogs immediately! I really enjoy this service, as it allows me to follow news headlines (I subscribe to the New York Times feed), as well as feeds from other librarians' blogs.
