Schools in the United States (US) are cracking down MySpace, a popular teen (and adult) website that offer people easy access to blogging, profile sharing, meet-ups, and what not.

At this time it sounds like WordPress is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
