I've been wanting to start a blog/website to host my interests in physics and astronomy. I don't know how to make a website so I was wondering if you guys know any blog sites that are pretty good for a science oriented person. I was thinking of trying out Google's blogger but if you guys have any inputs please let me know! :]

This blog is just for fun. I plan to share my current interests and studies with fellow friends and colleagues. It's mostly science oriented towards astronomy and physics!

You can make a blog right here. :smile: Click on the "Blogs" link at the top of any page.
 
Yes you are welcome to start a blog here. If you need more customization then Blogspot and Wordpress are very easy. Just remember to link to PF :)
 
tumblr is fairly easy to use, and doesn't require much in the way of configuration - it's all online.

Wordpress is nice, you'll need to get your hands a bit dirtier but it's not that complex.
 
O neat! I never knew PF has a blog section. And thanks guys for the input!
