CreateBlog.com: A Review (go back »)

Here is my review of the CreateBlog website:

PROS:

• A tracker with no spyware!
• A spam-free web site
• Everything is free!

CONS:

• Too many layouts featuring adolescent celebrities
• Too few "grown-up" layouts to choose from
• Sometimes I have log in problems
• Text editor (font, color, etc) is not the smartest I've seen

I love the tracker. I knew it was safe to use and free of spyware because I didn't have to download anything. And thanks to the human verification system, spam stays out. Some spam programs can get around standard CAPTCHAs, so the simple equations are the way to go.

And although the desire for more layouts probably isn't universal, I can't be the only one. As for the log in problems, I haven't experienced that in a while. But when I do, I usually have to reset my password several times before the site will let me log in. And finally, upon writing this blog, I discovered that I have to reassign text fonts, sizes and colors to any new text I add to a blog entry.

Overall, the site is pleasant to use and free of charge. I would give it about a B. Good job, CreateBlog.
