Both WordPress<\/a> and Blogger<\/a> host blog sites you can use for free. WordPress is open source software and is the technology we use to host this OERu course site. Blogger is proprietary software and you will need a gmail account to use this service. If you’re technically inclined, you may wish to host your own blog site but we don’t provide instruction on how to do this.\n<\/p>\n
