Top 10 Free Online Blogging Platforms


A blog is a great way to express your thoughts, create a web presence for your company and provide content to Internet users.
If you’re planning to create a blog, but don’t wish to get into the hassles of hosting, developing and deploying it yourself, consider creating a blog at any of the free blogging platforms mentioned below. Such services offer a plethora of features and generally come with both free as well as paid plans.
Let’s look at the top 10 most popular online blog-publishing services.

1. WordPress.com



WordPress.com is perhaps the most feature-rich blogging service out there. It uses the popular open source web software WordPress, and offers many features in its free version — traffic stats, anti-spam filters, SEO, gorgeous themes and more.
If you choose to use WordPress.com, you’ll be in good company, as many popular blogs — including CNN’s Political Ticker, People Magazine’s Style Watch and Flickr — are on this platform.
If you need more than what the free version offers, you can opt for their premium features that include custom domains, upgraded web hosting resources and more.
Whether you’re an expert blogger or a beginner, this ultimate blogging platform is a safe bet.

2. Blog.com



Blog.com is another popular WordPress-powered blogging platform.
Just like other services, it has its own share of pros and cons. For a start, it offers many beautiful premium themes in its free accounts, as well as advanced plugins that one can expect only on a self-hosted blog. However, on the downside, the free service displays more ads as compared to WordPress.com. (But you can opt for paid upgrades to remove the advertisements.)
The free storage space offered on Blog.com is 2GB in the basic plan, which is less compared to 3GB that WordPress.com gives its users.

3. Blogger




Google Blogger is a well-known blogging service that offers many features to its users. For example, Blogger comes with a Template Designer user interface that lets you tweak your blog’s appearance as much as you want. (However, the templates provided are, in my opinion, no match compared to WordPress themes.)
When it comes to ease of use, most beginners prefer Blogger as it offers a no-nonsense interface for administering your blog and top-notch integration with their Google account. Another great thing about Blogger is that it offers certain great features for free that you normally need to pay for in other blog-publishing services,  most noteworthy being the ability to set up custom domains without paying a cent. Our Blog is also retained on blogger.

4. TypePad Micro



TypePad Micro is another free blog-publishing service. The interface is easy to use, and you can import/export content from many other blogging platforms.
However, in terms of add-ons and themes offered, TypePad Micro won’t satisfy even the most basic blogger. The cheapest paid plan begins at $8.95 per month and comes with additional themes, custom domain mapping, as well as technical support.
In an age where almost all blogging services are offering numerous features in their free versions, TypePad Micro seems to be lagging behind.

5. Jux



Jux is an innovative service that lets you easily share content online. Conventionally speaking, it’s not a blogging service like the ones previously mentioned, however, it has a lot of the same functionalities. Rather, Jux lets you create your ownmicroblogging site for sharing your content.
By default, Jux templates don’t have the native sidebars and other widgets that are common to most blogs. Instead, Jux provides a clean (and beautiful) approach to blogging. Simply create an account, and then start sharing your content.
While Jux does seem amazing and has excellent support for mobile devices, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. For instance, if you’re planning to create a more conventional blog, opting for WordPress might be a better option. On the other hand, if you’re leaning more towards visual content, such as photos and artwork, Jux may just amaze you with its features.

6. Tumblr



Tumblr is a popular and feature-packed microblogging platform. It comes with many outstanding and interesting features such as audio blogging (for sharing your music, for example), free custom domains, hundreds of amazing blogging themes and more.
Furthermore, you can sync your Tumblr account with Facebook and/or Twitter so that you can update your social media feeds in a single location. Yet another awesome feature is the ability to create community-powered group blogs. Tumblr also offers support for many third-party apps such as Google Analytics and Feedburner.

7. Posterous Spaces



Posterous Spaces is an excellent online blog-publishing service that is similar to Tumblr.
Posterous Spaces has excellent privacy and viewing features so that you can easily control who can see what on your Posterous Spaces site. It’s designed to allow its users to post content quickly and as hassle-free as possible, so it has loads of features included to facilitate this, such as free mobile apps for iOS and Androidsmartphones so you can update your blog on the go and a simple, well-designed user interface.
Using Posterous Spaces means you’ll be in good company; popular tech startups likeMailChimp, TweetDeck and Airbnb leverage Posterous as their company blog.

8. Blogetery



Blogetery is a WordPress-powered online blogging service that offers a modest set of features. Free accounts get nearly 140 themes, custom domain mapping and roughly 40 plugins to choose from.
On Blogetery, ads are displayed on all free blogs, but if you wish to upgrade, you can opt for the paid plan that will cost you $3.50 per month and will give you additional themes, plugins, email support, 5GB of additional storage space, the ability to remove ads, etc.

9. Weebly



Weebly offers more than just blogging — it’s a fully featured website builder! Weebly’s blog manager features a drag-and-drop interface, support for image galleries,slideshows, video/audio, maps, etc. Additionally, you can opt for their Designer Platform that lets you build websites for your client, thereby effectively using Weebly as a content management system.

10. LiveJournal



LiveJournal (often abbreviated as LJ) offers blogging with a touch of social networking to it. You can participate in polls, create networks and interact with other LJ users alongside your blog.
With that said, the features, compared to other similar blogging services, are nothing to brag about. Their collection of template is decent, and plugins/extensions are pretty basic in nature.

Other Online Blogging Platforms

Here are other blogging platforms that didn’t make our top 10 list that you still may wish to check out:
  • Blogsome, freeblogit and Blog Dive  are other WordPress-powered blogging platforms.
  • Thoughts.com is a service similar to Tumblr and Posterous.
  • Blog.co.uk seems to have a wonderful community, but appears to put a lot of ads on your blog.
  • MyBlogSite looks interesting but seems to lack in features when compared to other options.
  • Aeonity offers free blog hosting but it looks like a dated service.

Conclusion

There are numerous blogging services out there, and choosing a specific one is more of a matter of personal taste and needs.

Disable Country Specific Domain Redirection In Blogger


Recently, Blogger introduces a Country Specific URL's redirection for all BlogSpot domains. Instead of the blogspot.com domain extension, your readers will see their country specific domain extensions. The redirection currently implemented on India and so far all blogspot.com domains redirecting to blogspot.in. 


For exmaple: If you are viewing a blog with address blog-name.blogspot.com from Australia (AU), then you will be redirected to blog-name.blogspot.com.au. Similary, if you are viewing from India it will be redirected to blog-name.blogspot.in.

This redirection is called "country-code Top Level Domain" (ccTLD). It also knows as "302 Redirect" which is a temporary change and not a 301 redirect which is a permanent change of address.A report says that many countries are affected from this. These countries are
  1. Argentina [blogspot.com.ar] 
  2. Australia [blogspot.com.au] 
  3. Brazil [blogspot.com.br] 
  4. Canada [blogspot.ca] 
  5. Czech Republic [blogspot.cz]
  6. France [blogspot.fr] 
  7. Germany [blogspot.de] 
  8. Hong Kong [blogspot.hk]
  9. India [blogspot.in] 
  10. Italy [blogspot.it] 
  11. Japan [blogspot.jp] 
  12. Mexico [blogspot.mx] 
  13. New Zealand [blogspot.co.nz] 
  14. Portugal [blogspot.pt] 
  15. Romania [blogspot.ro]
  16. Spain [blogspot.com.es] 
  17. Sweden [blogspot.se] 
  18. UK [blogspot.co.uk]
 If you want to prevent this country specific redirection then follow the steps given below.

Step 1


Goto 'Design' from your blogger dashboard.

Step 2

Then select 'Edit HTML'.

Step 3

Find <Head> and paste the code given below right below it. 





That’s it!! Now your blog will not redirect to country specific URL. This may help your SEO too.

How To Crack Wifi Or Wireless Password



Hello Friends, today i will explain you how to crack Wifi or wireless password in just 10 to 15 minutes. i will explain How to Hack or Crack Wifi Password. Today's hack will be based on cracking the WEPencryption password. So guys Ready for crack wifi hack and lets start hack wifi. I have also included the video at bottom of the post.

Like My facebook Page

STEPS TO HACK WIFI OR WIRELESS PASSWORD

1. Get the Backtrack-Linux CD.
Backtrack Linux Live CD(best Linux available for hackers with more than 2000 hacking tools inbuilt).
Download Backtrack Linux Live CD from here: CLICK HERE.


2.  SCAN TO GET THE VICTIM

Get the victim to attack that is whose password you want to hack or crack.
Now Enter the Backtrack Linux CD into your CD drive and start it. Once its started click on the black box in the lower left corner to load up a "KONSOLE" . Now you should start your Wifi card. To do it so type 

airmon-ng

You will see the name of your wireless card. (mine is named "ath0") From here on out, replace "ath0" with the name of your card. Now type

airmon-ng stop ath0

then type:

ifconfig wifi0 down

then type:

macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0

then type:

airmon-ng start wifi0

The above steps i have explained is to spoof yourself from being traced. In above step we are spoofing our MAC address, this will keep us undiscovered.

Now type:

airodump-ng ath0


All above steps in one screen shot:



Now you will see a list of wireless networks in the Konsole. Some will have a better signal than others and its always a good idea to pick one that has a best signal strength otherwise it will take huge time to crack or hack the password or you may not be able to crack it at all.


Once you see the networks list, now select the network you want to hack. To freeze the airodump screen HOLD the CNTRL key and Press C.

Now you will see something like this:


3.  SELECTING NETWORK FOR HACKING 
Lakshya Dhillon, Author


Now find the network that you want to crack and MAKE SURE that it says the encryption for that network is WEP. If it says WPA or any variation of WPA then move on...you can still crack WPA withbacktrack and some other tools but it is a whole other ball game and you need to master WEP first.



Once you've decided on a network, take note of its channel number and bssid. The bssid will look something like this --

00:23:69:bb:2d:of


The Channel number will be under a heading that says "CH".
As shown in this figure:





Now in the same KONSOLE window type:


airodump-ng -c (channel) -w (file name) --bssid (bssid) ath0


The file name can be whatever you want. This file is the place where airodump is going to store the packets of info that you receive to later crack. You don't even put in an extension...just pick a random word that you will remember. I usually make mine "Ben" because I can always remember it. Its simply because i love ben10....hhahahahaha :D

Note: If you want to crack more than one network in the same session, you must have different file names for each one or it won't work. I usually name them as ben1, ben2 etc.


Once you typed in that last command, the screen of airodump will change and start to show your computer gathering packets. You will also see a heading marked "IV" with a number underneath it. This stands for "Initialization Vector" but in general terms all this means is "packets of info that contain characters of the password." Once you gain a minimum of 5,000 of these IV's, you can try to crack the password. I've cracked some right at 5,000 and others have taken over 60,000. It just depends on how long and difficult they made the password. More difficult is password more packets you will need to crack it.


4.  Cracking the WEP password

Now leave this Konsole window up and running and open up a 2nd Konsole window.
In this window type:

aireplay-ng -1 0 -a (bssid) -h 00:11:22:33:44:55 ath0

This will send some commands to the router that basically it is to associate your computer even though you are not officially connected with the password. If this command is successful, you should see about 4 lines of text print out with the last one saying something similar to "Association Successful :-)" 
If this happens, then good! You are almost there.


Now type:
aireplay-ng -3 -b (bssid) -h 00:11:22:33:44:55 ath0

This will generate a bunch of text and then you will see a line where your computer is gathering a bunch of packets and waiting on ARP and ACK. Don't worry about what these mean...just know that these are your meal tickets. Now you just sit and wait. Once your computer finally gathers an ARP request, it will send it back to the router and begin to generate hundreds of ARP and ACK per second. Sometimes this starts to happen within seconds...sometimes you have to wait up to a few minutes. Just be patient. When it finally does happen, switch back to your first Konsole window and you should see the number underneath the IV starting to rise rapidly. This is great! It means you are almost finished! When this number reaches AT LEAST 5,000 then you can start your password crack. It will probably take more than this but I always start my password cracking at 5,000 just in case they have a really weak password.


Now you need to open up a 3rd and final Konsole window. This will be where we actually crack the password. 
Now type:
aircrack-ng -b (bssid) (filename)-01.cap


Remember the file name you made up earlier? Mine was "Ben". Don't put a space in between it and -01.cap here. Type it as you see it. So for me, I would type wepkey-01.cap
Once you have done this you will see aircrack fire up and begin to crack the password. typically you have to wait for more like 10,000 to 20,000 IV's before it will crack. If this is the case, aircrack will test what you've got so far and then it will say something like "not enough IV's. Retry at 10,000." 

DON'T DO ANYTHING! It will stay running...it is just letting you know that it is on pause until more IV's are gathered. Once you pass the 10,000 mark it will automatically fire up again and try to crack it. If this fails it will say "not enough IV's. Retry at 15,000." and so on until it finally gets it.

If you do everything correctly up to this point, before too long you will have the password! now if the password looks goofy, dont worry, it will still work. some passwords are saved in ASCII format, in which case, aircrack will show you exactly what characters they typed in for their password. Sometimes, though, the password is saved in HEX format in which case the computer will show you the HEX encryption of the password. It doesn't matter either way, because you can type in either one and it will connect you to the network.

Take note, though, that the password will always be displayed in aircrack with a colon after every 2 characters. So for instance if the password was "secret", it would be displayed as:

se:cr:et


This would obviously be the ASCII format. If it was a HEX encrypted password that was something like"0FKW9427VF" then it would still display as:

0F:KW:94:27:VF




Just omit the colons from the password, boot back into whatever operating system you use, try to connect to the network and type in the password without the colons and presto! You are in!

It may seem like a lot to deal with if you have never done it, but after a few successful attempts, you will get very quick with it. If I am near a WEP encrypted router with a good signal, I can often crack the password in just a couple of minutes.

I am not responsible for what you do with this information. Any malicious/illegal activity that you do, falls completely on you because.
Test the security of your own network.
