A (really) free blog plataform?


RPGista

Recommended Posts

I want to finally create my own blog to collect information about free knowledge and projects in architecture. I know a bunch of well-known blogs in the field that go for Google/Blogger, and I've also heard about Wordpress, but both of them include advertisement and I have this thing against ads, would rather choose a plataform free of them entirely. Is there really a ad-free blog provider around?

 

EDIT: I've been browsing wordpress blogs and I can't spot any ads, they do mention they only appear sometimes, does anyone here has an account there and can tell me more?

I have a Wordpress blog, and I think I once saw some adverts when viewing only a single post (not viewing from the main page). Then again, like most people (I assume) I am using ad-blocking browser extensions so for all I know the site could be littered with ads that I never see.

 

EDIT: Nope, just tested with Adblock disabled and I still didn't see any ads. Perhaps they only put ads on blogs which get enough readers for it to actually be worthwhile.

 

tumblr seems ad-free since the begining.

 

I get the impression though that Tumblr is considered "micro-blogging", more like twitter, rather than a platform for serious writing. Certainly the content I have seen on there has been very much the impulsive, quick-and-dirty style of posting rather than the essays and articles you expect on a regular blog.

Actually it would be more like a portfolio kind of place, and I would also like analyse and collect open projects like competition winners and that kind of stuff, so I do need a more complex page than microblogs. I was pretty much going for wordpress, but then the ad thing got me a bit worried, it's true that I also forgot I have adblock, I'll browse it a bit more without it and see if it's not too intrusive like you say Orbweaver. Thanks for the tips, guys.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
