1. Atrios uses blogspot

Do you have any technology experience? Kind of complicated if you want to make it like his blog.

Here is Atrios

Blogspot

I have a blog, but I am still making it. Ask for help on DU if you need any.

4. Blogstudio

HawkeyeX, I'd recommend you avoid using Blogspot. They run ads on your blog, their post archiving feature only works when it wants to, and their permalink feature has *never* worked right.

Here's the one I recommend:

www.blogstudio.com

It's either free or you can get more features by paying, but unlike Blogspot if you choose the free option they don't run ads on your blog. Plus, the permalinks work right, which is an important feature in blogging.
