Going to start a blog - any pointers? - Page 3

Pebs · 02-10-2007, 23:30

Does anyone know anything about Blogger as a blog provider type thing? I didn't think to do a search for blog until after I'd made it, what a doofus! How secure are these things if I set them as private? I want to be honest in my blog but not if they can be seen by people I dont want seeing it.

Perhaps I should transfer over to Wordpress?

Off the top of my head I'd assume you can set a blog to private, but I don't have that much experience with Blogger.

Hmmmm perhaps I'll transfer it over to the one Stan is using then...is that better?

Don't. 99.9% of blogs are criminally boring.

I disagree entirely. That's like saying "Don't eat vegetables, they all taste like grass"

I have been reading some blogs whilst researching this project and whilst there is a fair amount of material in them which holds little interest for me, there is quite a lot of stuff of interest. They also give an insight into how the author's mind works and how they view the world - quite fascinating actually.

I also disagree as I'm subscribed to nearly 200 of them. Photoblogs are fantastic. Obviously there is a large amount of kids out there blogging their lives away, but theres a decent amount of content for normalish people.

BUMP!!!

Today I have created a Professional Blog... my comment on the marketing world

I used Blogger for my personal Blog, but have chosen to use Word Press for my professional one as I would like to devise some sort of Professional Blog for work.

Please prepare yourself for noob questions about WP

The first of which: Can you not edit font size or colour in WP? Or does it depend on the theme that you use as some are restricting?

Thanks

That's odd, the link works fine for me

Try the url http://bigstan528.spaces.live.com/?_...and%2bwellness

I haven't updated it since May though, so it's not up to date

Must get around to updating it a bit.
