Adult Blogging?
 

Hi,

Which blogging hosts/services would you recommend for adult blogs?

Some blog service providers suggest that 'harmful to minor' content (which could be interpretted as any adult content) is not permitted, but they seem to host tons of adult/erotic blogs.

Are free blog solutions (like Blogger.com) worth doing or is it best to get one's own server and install blogging software?

Thanks.

dreamhost providers one click install for wordpress, u can host multiple domains as well

as does http://www.ehosts.org and pretty much any host that
has fantastico feature

Here are 3 I know of:

http://www.thumblogger.com
http://www.xlogz.com
http://www.121blogs.com/portal.php

Thumblogger is the common alternative for blogger, it currently exists for over 1,5 years and many webmasters are using it.

http://www.thumblogger.com/
has all the features a adult blog webmaster could wish for. But use the search engines on the boards to find out more about thumblogger.

if you cant install wordpress then quit now. a good host for blogging is tear2hosting, those guys hook up the ips and are very savvy.

I have some buddies using dreamhost (good features/good price) for mainstream, but I was not sure if they permitted adult content.

host your own

quik-host.net
i can help you out with uploading shit if need be.

note: i do not work for host, but am a very good friend.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

What do you folks do for 'pinging' the blog directories with your updated blogs -- ie. do you use some of the online forms to submit your blogs (which ones?).

DO NOT USE BLOGGER for adult. That may have been fine 2 years ago but not now.

Free blog hosts:

Here's a start to submit your blog to blog directories http://www.adultblogresource.com/submitter/
Some will take your rss feed so each time you publish a post they will know it
And for pinging, in wordpress you can specify which sites to ping....but for hosted blog services you could use a tool like http://www.thumblogger.com/starpinger/

Does anyone create their own RSS feeds which are NOT generated by blogging software?

Or, for RSS, is it best to use off the shelf programs?

I understand that some RSS feeds have known problems (content encoding issues) which may require plug-ins to patch - what are some of the know caveats of this nature?

wordpress if you want to host it yourself.
thumblogger.com if you need it hosted

dreamhost is the worst host on the planet

I've used Blogger for 5 months and only 1 issue.. They thought it was a spam blog...Once I corrected them, no problems. Then again, I don't put any hardcore and no pink anymore.

Is there still a market for a free site like blogger, but then specific for adult? With alot of options seo friendly etc. etc.?

Great feedback everyone - thanks!

Next question -- Do you blog to generate SE ranking/traffic or just traffic through you link exchanges?

If you want to have another adult blog as well, www.freeblognetwork.com

We allow adult of course. The more the merrier!

When you show a 'random blog' from your front page, do adult ones show up as well?

host your own stuff, dont rely on someones elses host, incase it goes down, they remove it, then you are fucked
