Blogger

Hey, guys...

If you're interested in blogging, Blogger has now incorporated most of the "pro" features into the free service. Plus, their blogging interface is no longer IE-only.

It's pretty nice.

You get to edit everything about your journal. You start with a ready-made template, but you can edit anything about it. You also have the choice to upload to your own Web space. That's what I did, but I had some trouble with it at first.

It was my fault though.

The only thing that makes Livejournal better is that Livejournal has no ads at all and allows comments. Although if you host it on your own Web space, there are no ads. I also hear that there are ways to add the comments feature, and I will look into that. Livejournal requires that you have a code from an existing Livejournal member though...

I'll put a link up to my blog later on when I get it set up. It looks so bare right now.

That's cool. But knowing me, if I was into that, I'd probably program my own.

If I had my own server, I would probably use something like Movabletype. But I don't, so this is almost as good.

I am not really into blogging as much as I used to be. My life isn't exciting enough for that!

Oops... That's what I meant.

Sort of like Yahoo mail giving non-IE users a simpler page when composing e-mails... I wish they would do something about it. If Blogger can, so can Yahoo! I don't use Yahoo, but my mother does. (For some reason totally unknown to me...

)

Only time I use yahoo is when I need to register a BBT account.

They finally blocked it now. hotmail has always been blocked. I need to find a less popular one, there's so many out there.

I use Yahoo for my spam. It used to be my primary address back when I didn't have a computer though...

I used to have something like Ryan_auclair@hotmail.com, then I switched to Ryan_Auclair@123indiana.com and went through like so many weird email domains that I never saw no one use before.
