Apologies if this is not completely on-topic, though I think this is a topic many readers of this list may have some knowledge of. I attend a UK Sixth Form College that currently has no form of student-run publication. The traditional 'student newspaper' concept isn't likely to work for a variety of reasons, and there is interest in being a little more experimental, setting up more of a collaborative weblog. The plan is to set up Wordpress, accept submissions, publish regularly and allow comments. Informed debate forms and creative arguments are published, and everyone is happy - or at least that's the plan. The problem is that there's no way the student council can get the required level of hosting on the college's internal server (the admin is concerned about security...).
This leaves only the option of external hosting. Hosted blogs such as blogger are too inflexible. It should be fairly low traffic, low-bandwidth and wouldn't be too expensive. It's just hard to get people to agree to allowing the funds to be spent without an idea of what we might achieve and the success it would gain. Ideally, I'm interested if anyone knows of a UK web hosting company or organisation with some web space that would be interested in helping to enable this project to go forward at no cost? Sorry that this post is quickly written. Please reply with any comments/questions/suggestions/offers for help either to the list or to me personally.
