I don't know of one. From my perspective, for a course with a name like "advanced web site design" it isn't unreasonable to ask students to get their own accounts on something like BlueHost. Because of the expense of this, I got together with friends and set up a reseller to get students an account for $36 a year (others can match this, but then up it considerably after the first year). Contact me if you are interested, this already starts to sound somewhat spammy ;). It ends up costing the same or less than a text book. The other host I've had students use is called NearlyFreeSpeech It lives up to the name. The only difficulty is that it is set up in a somewhat idiosyncratic way, and so students end up learning to use that particular host--knowledge that doesn't translate so well to later projects...

I teach an Advanced Web Site Design course for undergraduates at the community college level. I would like to give my students some experience designing for dynamic websites but I do not have that option on the college server system.
To that end I am asking if anyone on the list knows of a free online Wordpress host that allows users to design their own templates? The ones I have found only allow access to a limited family of predesigned templates and do not allow editing the templates.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
