| earcos's Full Review: Blogger |
The story
A little more than one year ago, I got the idea to write about my everyday life, opinions, feelings and thoughts on the internet. I was about to use a custom system to do it until I found Blogger.
I was familiar with weblogs, then I found this little web application to maintain my own. The great thing is that Blogger changed the whole idea I had about weblogs. After I signed up I started learing how I can maximize the power of Blogger into my site, and I fell in love.
The service
The cool design along with a very good navigation and ease of use are the first impressions you have. The signup is very easy, neat, clean, good for starters, fast for advanced users.
The service itself is extremely easy, during the sign-up you can choose to host your weblog in blog*spot a free ad-supported host, or you can use your own host provider, also you can choose a template or, of course, create your own. If you are a novice user and not familiar with HTML, you can have a weblog in less than 10 minutes. If you are a advanced user, familiarized with HTML, and web programming languages like PHP, ASP and XML, you will find a great tool not only to create a weblog but to manage contents on your website in a very easy way.
What Blogger can do for you
Blogger let you post anything on your website sorted by time (that's what a weblog in simple words is). The interface to post and publish is neat, simple and powerful.
You can create a template and put it in Blogger so you can make the content look the way you want with the design you want, using various blogger specific tags. The archives management works the same, you can tell blogger how you want to manage them and a template for the archives page.
Not just a web application
Blogger isn't just a web application. Blogger truly caused a revolution on the web. Thanks to the service there are more than 100.000 weblogs. There are lots of similar tools, but only Blogger was made this kind of impact on people.
Give it a try
Blogger is completely free, they only ask a link on your site. Join the revolution, start a weblog, and express yourself.
