Even then, none look as nice as Blogger's. Plus, with template names such as Leprechaun and Bumblebee-and no text description-it's a pain to find one you like. Frustratingly, there's no thumbnail preview, so you must blindly pick a template based on its name, click Save Changes, then check your live blog to see those changes. LiveJournal offers five predesigned templates with 13 color themes. Blogger and Radio UserLand, on the other hand, let you simply FTP your files to your own server, a much easier method. If you already have a site, you can embed your LiveJournal blog into your own server, but the process is complicated and requires some tricky coding. Once you register, LiveJournal creates a hosted site for you with this URL: username/. That's quite a bit cheaper than the $40 Radio UserLand and the soon-to-be $50 Blogger Pro. The paid service costs $25 per year, $15 for six months, or $5 per month, though LiveJournal won't push you to upgrade from the free version. If you get an account code from a current member (members earn giveaway codes over time), you can sign up for free.

It's an open-source tool created by the same bloggers who use it. LiveJournal takes a technical approach to blogging. ![]()
