HomeTeamFamily Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 so im thinking about starting a blog and i was hoping that some pmers could give me their input on the different services available im not going to use myspace, xanga, or livejournal so please dont suggest them im really hoping to get this started so any input would be greatly helpful!!!!
shelly_freak Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 blogger is pretty good. I don't use it but I did for a while (dropped it for xanga). it makes things easy but you can still modify it to how you want it to look.
ReinnieR Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 i don't know about the best one. i've only used one, i've had mine for 3 years i use xanga there's also a phatmass blogring on xanga here's a link to my xanga [url="http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=ReinnieR"]http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=ReinnieR[/url]
HomeTeamFamily Posted July 31, 2005 Author Posted July 31, 2005 ok not to be a beggar and a chooser, but im not going to use xanga....i want a professional looking blog
Laudate_Dominum Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I just started using xanga the other day. Seems fine to me. But I'm a baby when it comes to blogging.
ReinnieR Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 i'm wondering if i can put xanga on my site. like an rss feed or something i dont' know what i just said but yeah i'm wondering if i can put my posts on my site like automatically just by posting on xanga

If it's hosted in such a way that you can create some kind of database and write some simple middleware to manage it, it's not hard to make something like xanga.
HomeTeamFamily Posted July 31, 2005 Author Posted July 31, 2005 well i went to www.blogger.com and made one please check it out [url="http://burgerguru.blogspot.com/"]here![/url] id love to hear any feedback!!! please keep in mind that its my very first one and im not very html savvy, so any complicated formatting and stuff will have to wait
BeenaBobba Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I use Xanga. My Xanga's kinda pretty-looking. [url="http://www.xanga.com/dabeenabobba"]See?[/url]
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Blogger is the bomb. You can expect good things from Google. I don't "blog", but I use the Blogger interface for my website: [url="http://www.catholicfiles.com/"]http://www.catholicfiles.com/[/url]

HomeTeamFamily Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 does anyone know how to add a hitcounter to my site so i can see how many people actually visit it?
jgirl Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I use blogger for my site (http://jvd.iheartnormal.com), and don't use a blogger template. I've been using blogger since 2001, and it's really easy to use, plus you can make your own template and insert their code! As for the counter, my host (godaddy.com) automatically tracks my visitors, but I also use nedstat.

They even list all the template tags for you. As of yesterday, I think I finnally stripped the interface of everything "bloggy" (dates, signature, ect.).
HomeTeamFamily Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 ok still need the "how to install a counter on my site" and also if you go to my site and click on the links i get paid

For the sake of my own self-esteem, I choose not to have a counter. That way I can pretend everyone visits my site all the time! : Edited August 1, 2005 by thedude
