I came across a site offering free blog space to writers/authors, Blog for Writers, created by e-Writer’s Place, a site offering email workshops, articles, and allows users to submit information on their ebooks.

The free blog space might be useful for writers who have no desire to learn HTML and web design. The blogs are fixed (one style) and comes in three different colors. It appears that the only choice a user has is the color of their blog. This service would be far too limiting for me but I can see where many would like the zero setup. All they have to do is start blogging.

I’m not sure about the e-Writers Place. It could be a good resource for many. I haven’t explored the site fully but it appears to be focused on writing software. Now, I’m not a fan of writing software, maybe for some of the same reasons I don’t like doing an outline. It just turns me off and I don’t believe it can deliver what it promises. Having never used writing software I can’t really critique its value one way or the other.

While briefly viewing the site a thought came to me - it might be useful to write up a critique of writing sites. The only problem would be the time it would take to explore the site and then write an opinion on what is found. Humm, something more for me to ponder.
