Blogger is totally free, but it can be a PITA to customize. Wordpress also has a free option that isn't as good. Or you can pay for hosting & get the full deal. I haven't used it, but it's a lot easier to customize.

You can name it anything you want. You don't have to call it a blog.

with all that peer pressure telling me id be cool if i did it i guess i pretty much have to.. it cant hurt if others are doing it... i mean the first ones free right... its after i run out of money that i start whoring myself out for another blog fix wink.gif

yes, blogger is google's blog. Your url ends up being
jeanmarcus.blogspot.com (or whatever you call it), so you do have BLOG in the url.

For $10 a year you can get a custom url.

The free wordpress option has .wordpress.com in the url. I have read wordpress is much easier to customize.

Blogger is a really easy to customize using their options. But if you want to get really custom, it can be a PITA. The code is CSS code, not html & it took me a while to lean to work with it. I have a book coming from amazon about how to blogger, so hopefully that helps.

I've been working with Kristie to customize her blog. It's a google blogger blog so you can see how they look. We still want to do a few more things, like add a background or a print around the header.

Here is an example of one with no customization so you see how they come straight from blogger (I just found this one on the interwebs) amieds-amieds-on


The first thing to do is make a cool header to replace the text one. And then remove that navagation bar from the top.

And yes, people can leave comments. That is a really great part of a blog.

bloggy blog blog

There was some show on on myspace. Like a soap, but hosted on the interwebs. They showed clips of it on best week ever & they said "blog" about every other sentence. It was pretty funny. I'll see if i can find it.

I personally love the word blog. Sort of how I love the word google. It's so much fun to say stuff like, "oh, just wait until you see my blog" or "I'm blogging about that tonight." I don't actually blog. blog blog bloggy blog
