Webnode
Instead of reading a book I visited a website to research this post. It's wikipedia which you can find the article if you type webnode into google and then just click on it. This post is exclusive to my webnode which you should be on right now. I also have a webnode site at https://oldscratbag.net
Anyway webnode is based in Brno in the Czech Republic and is primarily a blog site but is also a CMS site where there are free and paid options. You can configure a website in a few minutes. In 2010 it had 2 million users using a dozen languages. I get a lot of readers from America and the Czech Republic. They have a dashboard on a site of theirs that features the best blogs and you get a lot of visitors from that. It was launched originally in 2008 in initially in just the czech language. In 2010 it won a prestigious award in Paris for best start up. There is other similiar like weebly and tumblr. I went with the free option for my sites but purchased domain names through webnode.
