Pandora -> Free Hosted Blogs-What else do you want? (11/13/2006 9:26:25)

Hello,
I got very frustrated with a lot of free hosted blog services due too:
Slow servers
Lack of stats
Lack of support
Poor Templates, design and in SEO terms.
No auto Ping
Not all offered mobile blogging either.
So I decided to set up a free hosted blog service that would address these issues.
My question is, are there any other functions that other webmasters would also like to see included to enhance a free hosted blog service?
Site url is http://www.blogsboom.com
What don't you like about free hosted blog services?
I want to make it a good experience for bloggers and am open to suggestions as to anything that webmasters feel should also be included or provided to make blogging a better experience.
So your thoughts, feedback and recomendations would be welcome:)

How about the fact that I have to sign up to it in order to review it for you. No thanks.

Well- No you don't. You can see the main page, design etc. and read all about what the service has to offer. However- I take your point if you actually want to see the inside so you can see what the free hosted blogs are like without having to sign up free- a demo blog option could be set up I think. I will look at doing that, so thanks for the idea.
If you check back tommorow- hopefully I will have that done and online.

You asked that. If I'm going to review something then I like to see it but I won't sign up for things in order to do so. I get enough spam as it is without blindly adding my email to anything that turns up on here. Whilst most people are perfectly genuine there are many who aren't.



Pandora -> RE: Free Hosted Blogs-What else do you want? (11/13/2006 11:44:56)

Thats fine:)
I will have a demo up by tommorow so everyone can take a peek without having to sign up free to do so. Working on that now.
I would also like to say that no emails from blog members will ever be used for any other reason than to inform them of a problem with there blog.
Thanks

We have a demo blog up- and thank you already for the previous comments as it made us think...

We have added or are adding/ all of the following:
A fully functioning demo blog for all to see and test without the need to sign up, a privacy policy, a display of all the availiable templates, and an FAQ's section.

This should also help users as well as anyone who wishes to review our site.

Many thanks already for the ideas and in-put :)
