I can remember the day. About five years ago, I produced my first blog. I’ve sprung up a handful of them since then, but it’s been a long and enjoyable process nonetheless. My blogs have covered all kinds of things, such as the tongue cleaner and Truvia. I’ve also written about more popular issues like celebrities and fashion.

As far as using a platform goes, I’ve always had different opinions about this, as I’ve never known which way to go with things. I’ve tried so many different options, and at the end of the day I want something easy to use that looks great.

I’ve been through my share of good ones and bad ones, and I’d like to tell you about three of the blogging platforms that I’ve found to be the best of the bunch. The best part is that these are all free.

If you’ve never blogged before, you might want to go with a Blogger blog to start out. This is a service that Google powers, and you know it’s got to be good if they’re behind it. It couldn’t be easier to get started.

Secondly, I would definitely look into WordPress if you want to be a bit more adventurous. The many widgets and plugins offered through WordPress are phenomenal.

If you’re into the idea of expanding the offerings of your blog with many nice, fun widgets, WordPress can be a great way for you to go. It’s free to set up, and there are thousands of widgets that you can add to your blog at no cost.

3. Posterous. This is a new blogging service that I think is really cool, and may just catch on one day. Basically, all you need to do is send an email to Posterous, and they’ll post your email as a blog, no matter where you are.

The same can be done for pictures and videos too, making it very, very convenient.
