Blogtown – blogtown.co.nz
I’ve just created a new site called Blogtown (blogtown.co.nz) – the aim is to create a free blogging service for people in New Zealand. The site is fully funtional but is still being tested, so I’m only making the service available by invitation only.
I’m using WordPress MU, which is a multi-user version of the popular blogging software, WordPress (which also runs this site.) The themes that I have made available to end-users are customised to include discrete, Google Adsense ads at the top of each page which should cover the costs or running the site. Future plans are to include premium features that will be available for a monthly fee, such as photo albums or other plugins.
If you live in NZ and would like to test out the site with your own free account – please send an email to webmaster@blogtown.co.nz. When you get set up, you’ll get a username.blogtown.co.nz web address for your blog.
