Blog: My First Entry

Blogging !! a new way to show yourself.

A bit of googling gave me few famous blogging services. WordPress , Blogger , LiveSpaces , LiveJournal , TypePad  to list a few. All does the same at the end ie., publish your blog. Each service provides unique features and presentation style but definitely provide common functionality: Create Posts, Upload Pictures , Allow Comments, Configure the Appearance  etc. End user has to choose these based on few parameters. It can be ease of creation , technical expertise needed to use , advanced features and the look and feel. Here are the reviews & recommendations of them.

All these have built-in web based editors. You may be limited to functionality when you stick to these. Here is a desktop tool Windows Live Writer which integrates with blogging applications ,& have ease of inserting links, keywords, categories, and images , specifying the date/time for blog post publishing and publishing directly to the blog in either draft or live form . Although browser tools excel they lack the desktop client features and smooth usage. Plugins are available for Live writer.

Keep tracking your favorite blogs and feeds with BlogLines or Google Reader which uses RSS. You can read the latest entries at one shot.

How much is your blog worth??
