I am looking for a free website to publish my health-and-food blog, which has been going on 'blogger' for some years. It is not really a blog but deals with various health-and-food issues, so it would be better off on a general website. That way people can more easily search for a subject.
A search for ‘free websites’ gives plenty of possibilities, but a recommendation would be nice. Don’t know where to start!
I think wordpress, 'com' at the end, is free. (I can't post links yet). However, you might want to think about if you want to advertise in the future as I think there are restrictions regarding what you're able to upload and the plugins you can use which allow you to add things to the site.
I use wordpress, with 'org' at the end. It does mean I pay for my domain name/hosting but it gives me more freedom.
No reason why you couldn't start with wordpress 'com' if you didn't want to pay right now. You could transfer it over to wordpress 'org' later I think but I'd recommend getting someone who knew what they were doing to sort that out!
There is also 'blogger' but I'm not sure if that's free?
Thank you Angel, you can't have fallen too deep! As it happens I am currently using 'blogger', the free version (ThoughtforFood-aw.blogspot.com), but I want to make it possible for people to search by subject, whereas on blogger they can only see the date of posting. My son advised me to find a proper website, rather than a blog setup. Hence my question.
As it happens I did find a site which recommends and compares free websites and am trying out what they say is the best one: wix. It's not easy, trying to work out how things work when you're not used to it .... I wish my son was here to sit by my side!
Have a look at my website if you want to see an example of how a word press site could be set up. It's fallen angel fitness with a .co afterwards 🙂
I've heard of Wix and Weebly as well 🙂
Excellent website Angel!!
Myself, I'm the opposite. Eating quite sensibly, but always a bit too much (lots, a while ago!). Life is not worth living without food.
Have commented on your mindfulness blog.
Thank you Anne Mary 🙂
wordpress, joomla, tumblr or blogspot. I use wordpress and I am satisfied - it's easy to use and looks good
I am using wordpress and blogspot, but they seem to be more for blogs than for a website where the subjects do not age, but where you can look at them all if you like. If you see what I mean! In particular blogspot is awkward in that respect. At least as far as I can see, which is not very far in computer matters!
I agree I also use WordPress. Godaddy is another to consider. Good luck..
I highly recommend WordPress. It's fully flexible, very powerful, and from what you've said you need it to do, it's the perfect solution. If need be, you can also transfer your existing content from blogger straight over in just a few clicks.
