[Hidden-tech] Re: blogging advice

[Anne Campbell]

Hi all,

I've been using Blogger for a bunch of years now, and I've been very pleased
with it. On the surface, it's a super-easy way to just start a blog without
any technical skills at all - I have many technophobic friends with Blogspot
accounts. But if you delve in just a little bit, it's completely possible to
integrate a Blogger blog into your own site, with any URL you like, and any
design you can imagine. I've done this on one of my own sites (though I
really should post more often): http://riverbenddoula.com/07-latestnews.htm

Many of my clients have integrated Blogger blogs as well:

http://www.kentalan.com/blog.htm
http://www.themother-daughterproject.com/latestnews.htm
http://www.sanghafarm.com/whatsgrowing.htm
http://pequotlakeslibrary.org/news.htm

To me, Blogger is the best of all worlds - it's very easy for clients to
learn; Google takes care of all the server-side stuff, so I don't have to
install anything or make software updates; and it's ridiculously easy to
take the core code and pop it into any HTML template you like. I know a lot
of people swear by WordPress and like having total control, but I don't mind
the trade-off of leaving the software in Google's hands and just enjoying
the ease of use.

-Anne
