A friend of mine wants a blog site that allow posts on the whole page. I mean, without categorizing by month/year. Is there any?

The short answer: the behaviour you want is a template/layout decision, not a feature limited to one vendor. asked for whole-post listings instead of date-grouped archives; and rightly pointed out that a system where you can edit the front-page template makes that trivial, and and flagged the hosting angle.

Practical checklist to deliver a single-page feed of full posts (what was not covered in the replies):

  • Make the front-page template render full post bodies rather than excerpts (replace the excerpt call with the full-content call in your theme or template) and set a sensible number of posts per page so pages stay fast.
  • Remove or disable date-archive templates (or redirect them) if you do not want month/year indexes visible.
  • Prevent duplicate-content issues when the homepage and single-post pages contain the same text by using canonical tags or noindex on archive pages; see Google Search Central for guidance on consolidating duplicate URLs (Consolidate duplicate URLs).
  • Protect performance and UX: limit full posts per page, enable image lazy-loading (MDN: Lazy loading), and use server-side caching or static output for large volumes.

If the friend prefers a low-maintenance route, choose a platform or static-site workflow that gives template control so these changes are simple to apply; for theme/template developer details see the official theme handbook (WordPress Theme Dev) for examples of the main loop and content calls.

I am with ses5909, Wordpress is a very good blog. I recommend getting a good hosting company to support your blog.

You could just host your blog yourself for very little money. As little as $40 per month or maybe even less. With that you could add your own website infront of the blog as well.

I'd go for either the grow it yourself variety or Wordpress as already suggested to be honest.

More like as little as $5-10 for a decent host for a personal site.

Oops, I meant per year.

I was thinking... I pay $2.99 a month for my hosting. LOL
