Best free blog service?

[cartesia]

Thinking of starting one up..

which do you bloggaz think is the best?

I want it to be very clean and minimal, not much in the way of extra columns/bars/etc.. I know you can customise it, but some make you include a top bar/dont have much choice/etc, and I dont wanna have to mess around with the site myself much, I just wanna dump thoughts + pics etc.

i would say wordpress is the best. easy to handle (cause you'll find every code or anything else) in some forums plus you can create it exactly as you want it to be.

wordpress is good, even better if you host it yrself, cuz you can go in and mess around in the back-end.

i still think blogger is pretty solid, lots of free templates, and very search-engine friendly cuz it's been around for awhile.

you could also skip right past blogs and go to tumblr, which has a very dedicated fanbase.
