So you want to build a blog and you have to make out which blogging service you need to use to get good results.

Well, you could start with a free service: Google's own . . . Blogger.com. You can make a good blogsite from blogger, but there are many things you will not get with a free blogsite. It is better to use a paid service. You are trusting a lot of your hardwork into the hands of a free service.

The blog service I like and have found personally to be the best in its field is squarespace.com. Gadgetopia says of Squarespace:

"Squarespace is the best content management system I have ever seen within its class."

Squarespace is an exceptionally tuned publishing system for managing websites and blogs.

The best part of Squarespace is all the back-office services, such as a traffic overview, traffic detailed log, a list of referrers, a list of queries people used to arrive at your site, and a list of the most popular pages. All of this is not available in blogger.com for example.

Check-out the site "myubuntu.reading-notes.com" for an example of what your site could look like.
