These blog systems hosted by the news sites do not have FTP access, there is a simplistic web interface that you use to publish articles and set up categories/tags. There are "freehostings" that give you a 3rd level domain and FTP access to a LAMP server (in exchange for displaying an ad banner), but that's a different thing.

I am not sure what you mean by your question, could you clarify?

Sounds like a blogger.com ...

Sorry for the question. I mean,

- the web has become easier to publish compare to past. (creating your own website) - in sheer number, the personal blogs of developers', programmers' blogs are greater and it is much easier to follow their RSS. - I really would love to read an Architect's personal blog or an local barista's personal one and could not find on the web? (do we lack a directory or rss?) - It's not seems to be likely that only tech-savvy people write blogs and other occupations don't. Other engineers or accountants may want to share their stories (right now mainly through short posts on twitter, fb ...) - I could easily follow my university's retired reactor, professors and read their posts on facebook. But there are full of distractions (never-ending feeds of dopamine slot machines) and I mean why don't many people publish on the web? - I could easily browse my fav programmers' website and read, take note in peace without distractions and follow their RSS. But it's a lot harder to find an architect's weblog (there are but fewer than programming blogs).

Yes, it's very much like blogger.com, but older.

What we have on 'our loca internet' is a few community hubs, one of them is a general one for all kinds of freelancers where they can put a link to their blog, and also the blog platforms have a general listing of blogs separated into categories that you can explore. I don't know of any such community hubs on the English speaking internet.
