When I was searching for a blog hosting company last summer, I really had no idea what I was doing. I just Googled "free blog host" and came up with a few matches. I didn't know any more about one host than any other. I'm not sure exactly how I ended up on Blogdrive, but I think it was fairly random -- it was the first free blog hosting site I saw that seemed to have the features I thought I wanted -- mostly, it was free, and it promised no pop-ups or pop-unders. Sold!
A month or so ago, Blogdrive added some new bells and whistles, and also started "featuring" two blogs each day. When someone goes to the Blogdrive home page, there is a box on the right side of the screen. That box contains two headings: "Featured Subscriber" and "Featured Profile," along with a little snippet of each blogger's header, or a photo from the blog. Guess who is today's Featured Subscriber! Here's what Blogdrive's visitors see today:
Featured Subscriber
I have to tell you, I was quite surprised when I went to the site and saw that. I said to my cats, "hey -- that's me!!!" I'm sure it's as random a thing as how I chose Blogdrive, but it sure has gotten me a lot of hits! =) It's barely noon here, and I've already exceeded my daily average of visitors, more than one-third of whom are other Blogdrive subscribers. It will be interesting to see how many of them stick around. I haven't found any other food blogs on Blogdrive in the nine months I've used it... maybe this will start a new trend. Thanks, Blogdrive!

Kelli March 17, 2005 04:50 PM PST Christina -- thanks for the leads! And I like your Eeyore graphic. =)
Seige -- I'm in the midst of a frantic apartment hunt right now (moving 250 miles away from HOME!), but I will definitely check into that more closely when I have more blog time. Thanks so much!
Christina March 14, 2005 11:15 PM PST There's plenty of food blogs here on Blogdrive. Fallen has one that's called "what's for dinner" and I know BrokenChaos has one as well that I believe is called "rockin recipes". I suppose you can all create a blog ring someday. *smiles* Great blog, keep it up. Have a great day!
