This roundup of free blogging platforms features sites that offer both free hosting, and the software tools to create and maintain a blog without having to know a thing about HTML, CSS, or FTP. All allow the use of your own domain name (such as example.com instead of example.bloggingplatform.com) but some only include this feature in their premium or paid offerings.

It’s kid-friendly, and incorporates fun images and cartoons to deliver the message. Please consider adding it to your list of resources if you feel your audience would find it useful. Thank you!
My best,
Joe Chapuis
