Subject:Re: suggestions for a Word Press hosting site From:"Technical Writing Plus" <doc-x -at- earthlink -dot- net> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:08:49 -0600
By 'Word Press' I assume that you mean 'blog'. Wordpress itself
(wordpress.com) is a good blog hosting site, but my impression is that it is
oriented more towards words/text and less towards pictures/illustrations.
Blogger (blogspot.com) is the opposite.
I have several blogs on blogger: fixer-jim, stc-chicago-jim, and
cartoons-jim. These three are on the .blogspot.com stem. So the addresses
are fixer-jim.blogspot.com (here I advertise repair of certain mangled
translations that are in my language pairs), stc-chicago-jim.blogspot.com
(simple technical drawings and logos), and cartoons-jim.blogspot.com
(cartoons). And I have some of my Hanzi (Chinese characters) on the last
two.
I have a blog on Wordpress too, at akn6z.wordpress.com (might change the
name to something that is easier to remember, eventually, but for now I am
ok with 'akn6z'). This blog is more text oriented. I use it to advertise my
Mandarin Tutoring/Coaching and Phone Interpreting services.
Posterous.com is another that I like. I have several blogs there, for
example 'medicalmodern' and 'mandarinspeak'. It is super simple and modern
and it seems to be slightly visually-oriented.
STC Chicago is the STC Community that I belong to and they have a community
blog at stc-chicago.blogspot.com.
I just now realized, after composing this, that you might have meant exactly
what you asked. If this is the case, I do not know. Sorry.
