I'm thinking of publishing some short stories in a blog. Are there any hosts you recomend? And are there particular features you're fond of? I'm not looking for much, just a place to put my work up. The interactivity of a blog seems better than a website.
Wordpress is great but if you just want to serialize a story, use the Google service. It's a simple, effective way of publishing. If you get into promoting your blog, that's a whole other story. If that's the route you're going then bloggerparty and some of those are alot better because they create traffic.
I think you should look into owning your own blog. You can be sign up with a numerous amount of blogs offering your own space. I know alot of places where you can earn from your work.
