OpenGuru: Site Info

The creators of The Pirate Bay have launched their new service, an uncensored blogging service, named Baywords.

This blogging is service is intended for anyone who want to be able to write or blog about anything they want, without being afraid of getting shut down by their blog host.

Only thing to take care is that, the blog should not violate any Swedish laws.

Brokep, the co-founder of site said

Many blogs are being shut down for uncomfortable thoughts and ideas. We will not do that. Our goal is to protect freedom of speech and your thoughts. As long as you don’t break any Swedish laws in your blog, we will defend it.

I have registered a new blog with BayWords. You can see it here.

BayWords uses WordPress 2.5 MU version. As of now BayWords has around 40 themes to choose from. There is also plugin support, but as of now there is only 1 plugin available to activate. Users can upload media to BayWords, however the exact amount free space available is still unknown.

As mentioned in BayWords, the upcoming features are..

support for custom domain name.
Lots of new themes.
Improved blog statistics.
And lots of other new featuress

As of now there are no ads displayed in user blogs. However in future there will be ads blended with the blog themes to cover up the hosting and maintenance cost. However, Brokep has promised the amount of ads displayed will be minimal.

Only missing thing currently is the custom Java script support. There is no way to add your own java-script to your weblog. Well, this is actually the limitation of the Wordpress MU version itself. It would have been great if, custom java-scripts were supported. Without custom javascript there is no way to have your own stat counter, Google analytics or Google adsense.

Overall, This is the blogging service that I have been waiting for! I always wanted to have a un-censored web log. The wordpress.com blog is too restrictive if you want to blog about anything sensitive. Forget about the paid hosting, they will suspend your hosting account if you do that. This is the main reason why I moved my blog from paid hosting to BlogSpot.

I am not sure, but I hope that I will maintain and keep updating my new blog @ BayWords.
