But with so many free blog sites on the web, which are the best free blog website platforms around? We've tried them all, and received feedback from other creatives who use them.

Look out for links to the full reviews of each platform, too.
When choosing your platform, you need to decide what is more important to you: ease of use, or design flexibility. The easiest platforms tend to be more restrictive in terms of how you want your blog to look. If you want design flexibility, you'll need to be willing to flex your technical and/or coding skills to make it work.
