Default Any good Photo Blogging out there???

I was looking around for somewhere to place my mark I want a photoblog. Sometimes I just kinda wanna take notes for a new project or put up a picture I worked hard on and talk about it. I want my own space. Can anyone recommend any good blogging areas/websites?? I want to be apart of one that I can trust.

i use wordpress, there's a link to it in my signature at the bottom of this post. i love it, it's REALLY easy to use, and there are many different layouts/color combinations you can choose from that are pre-made, so you don't have to worry about html/bbc script or whatever.

Katia, you have a very nice blog! I do really like the layout. I enjoyed your snake pics! I used to have a Columbian Red Tail, and a Ball Python a while ago

WordPress is probably the most versatile blogging platform, and there are lots of free templates/themes specifically for photo blogs.

I would second on the Wordpress - I use it for my domain. There's lots of customization and you really don't have to do much work yourself. Plus, if you get it from them (like you.wordpress.com) , there's no costs what-so-ever!

That's ok. I have been so interested in snakes! There was a while ago where I was so scared of them, but then my boyfriend at the time owned both of ours. Once we started living together I got used to them. I would start feeding them, cleaning their cages. I would go to the store and buy the hot lamps and little caves They were so awesome, but we have been broken up for a while and he took them because I couldn't care for them with my new roomie.....so, no pictures. However I am trying to talk my fiance into letting me buy one!!! Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I can't wait to try out Wordpress!

I use blogspot. It's simple and straightforward. I'm a minimalist so it works nicely for me anyways, and comes up on the search engines more often than my website, although my site gets more traffic from God knows where. Go figure.
