Eponym is a new hosted blog service, and a direct competitor with Blogger. It’s nice and easy to use, and it’s really quick to set up a new blog – like I did (check out that nice Slashdot-esque theme).
My one criticism would be that the Control Panel page is a little cluttered – I think they should have ditched the top header, really.
But it seems quicker than Blogger, and is bound to be with fewer users, so for absolute beginners it’s worth a shot.

A similar proportion do not comply with guidelines created to improve web access, it found.
In response, a government spokesman said the UK had been actively promoting better accessibility of sites.
