These are some of the websites that allow you to apply effects quickly:
http://photogramio.com/photofilters
With this powerful on-line web application you can upload your image easily with no need for registration and apply the effect you wish, that you can see instantly. Plus, you can find some cool effects that are not even available in Instagram. Then download it and share!
You don’t need registration, just upload it and switch the effect until you get what you want. It is simple but quick.
There is a category for filters http://photofunia.com/categories/filters. But the best part is the possibilities of creating funny and fake pictures.
Great image effects on Photofunia
You may need to create a combination of images for the web to use for example in CombineLook (http://www.combinelook.com), let’s see quick and easy ways of doing it:
This online tool is designed to quickly put several pictures into one and create a gallery effect. But if you take 4 pictures and select a two column layout you will obtain four images in a collage mode, like you can see in the image below:

Make a photo collage with Photovisi
This is the most powerful webapp that we have found. It has plenty of possible collage combinations, we have pointed above to the one we believe will be more useful for a simple collage like the one you can create with the grid in Picsart or in Instasize.
It is simple to use and does not require subscription. You can decide the number of columns and rows, and freely move the image even once uploaded. When you are finished, just click the “Join” button and you will get the result ready to be downloaded.

It allows you to resize images. Compared to photojoiner it offers more options, but you can not select the number of rows and columns. Other interesting choices is the possibility to make rounded corners, and add padding as well as margins to the images
On one side, there is the possibility of hosting it in wordpress.com. Main things to bear in mind:

WordPress.com hosting:
A theme is the look and feel of your blog. But it is a lot more, since there is some code in it, you can use your theme to achieve different behaviour in your content. For example, you can decide what categories are listed in the home, if there is a slider or not, and many more things that just the fonts or the css styles.
A plugin is an additional module that brings new functionality to your blog, allowing you for example to embed tweets in your blog with Twitget. There are a lot of plugins in https://wordpress.org/plugins/, and most of them are free to use.
Normally, if this is the first time you are going to blog, and you have no budget to spend, our recommendation is clear, go for a free wordpress.com account. It will also allow you to grow with their premium options.
Going for a self-hosted WordPress site requires that you have knowledge about servers and a bit of programming. You will need to configure a database, upload things to an ftp account and so on. If all of this sounds new to you, then bear in mind that you will have to learn it. It is not complex, but you need to like it or it will be heavy task. There are of course lots of professional agencies that can help you out and have a lot of experience in building a professional WordPress site.
I have good experience using Twitget. It is a plugin for WordPress. You can download the plugin in this link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/twitget/.
With the new version of the Twitter API, 1.1., it is required that you obtain an API key in order to be able to grab your tweets.
Another option is to choose the tweet you want and just insert it inside your post.
This is currently possible as a regular feature in Twitter. It will look like this:

This will work in a WordPress hosted blog as well. Bear in mind that not all iframes are allowed in the WordPress.com blog.
