Blogging Software for Greasespot posters

[pawtucket]

We also have a great new feature, Blogging. Every poster can have their own blog to talk about anything that doesn't violate the rules. If you have a passion about something, start blogging about it. People can leave comments and you have control over allowing or deleting the comments. It is your own little webspace.

We will have a moderators' blog that will explain some of the actions taken and plans on updates.

Anyone familiar with Blogging and would like to try it, feel free. You could report some of the things about it that you like or dislike.

For those of you familiar with RSS feeds, these blogs allow syndication.

Could you explain more about blogging? I'm not too familiar with it but do know a lot of people do it.

Hi Vickles,

Think of blogging like a message board (Greasespot), accept that you (or those you choose) are the only one who can start a thread. Depending on how you set up your blog, others may or may not be allowed to respond.

Since you are the one who has to start a new topic, you are the star of the show. A blog can be anything from sharing news of your profession or hobby to an online diary of your day. The most recent topic loads at the top of your webpage, so older discussions die off fairly quickly in this format.

You can hunt around on Technorati and just read some blogs to get a feel for what you like, and how you might like your own to look. Since you already know how to negotiate Greasespot, you should have no trouble setting up and running a blog, for as long as you choose to.

Have fun!
