Free blog from GoDaddy

Just learnt from Quick Online Tips blog that Godaddy will offer domain name bought from them a free blog. Here are what Godaddy promised for the offered blog:

  • Customizable templates for different designs and layouts.
  • Image and audio upload capabilities so you can share your favorite photos and more.
  • IP Banning to keep unwanted visitors from harassing your blog.
  • RSS capabilities so visitors can automatically receive updates from your blog.
  • Mailing list notification to help you keep in touch with your visitors.
  • Surveys to get opinions from your visitors.
  • Site Statistics to track visitor activity on your blog.

  • It's a nice idea, since many enterprises would set up their blog but just don't have the technology.

    Apart from a free blog, there are more free extras for registering a domain name there. For details, visit this page.
