    4 Stars Dear diary... JACKPOT! 28/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free, customisable, easy to use.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow at times, hard to customise without a bit of tech knowledge, no criteria for browsing.

    When talking about the phenomenon of blogging, most people instantly think of people writing an online diary or weblog. This is where the name 'blog' originated from: web (from the World Wide Web) and log (as in keeping a log). It's not the hardest mouthful of words to pronounce, but it's been shortened to blog all the same. Since the first 'blogs' appeared in 1994, the act of recording thoughts and experiences online has grown. Today, blogging is a huge internet phenomenon. The terms 'weblog' and 'blog' didn't appear until later, though it's been said that blogging has existed for much longer ... more

    5 Stars I blog therefore I am 06/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, intuitive interface

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can very occasionally act up.

    What is a Blog? While I go make myself a cuppa, I'll let blogger.com themselves explain... "A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically—like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly—from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction." A place where you can say exactly what you want to say, when you want to say it - your own personal forum for thoughts, stories or information. What could be ... more

    4 Stars Blogging rocks! Review with images 27/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Blogs are windows on other people's worlds..

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not everyone out there has an interesting world!

    Bloggers stand up. (or sit down under a bedspread in Leeds, in an office in Washington, in a bombed out IT centre in Iraq or from your hospital bed…) This is real life, this is the world as seen from you lot out there - (y)our loves, losses, joy and pain. Blogging is the new black/brown/white/yellow/green (delete as appropriate) Blogs (or weblogs) are open diaries full of views, opinions, pictures, music and links to other sites. Hey some blogs apparently just link to other blogs and you can hop along in a circle! I started one in January, with Blogger.com. (http://transplantwait.blogspot.com) ... more

    3 Stars Blogging - for beginners. Review with images 12/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Simple, free, nice XML-RPC

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Relies on central server, lack of features

    If you don't know blogging is the latest thing to take over the web. It allows people to keep a diary on the World Wide Web, anyone can read. Often, they accept comments which allow others to comment on their entries. So where does the word 'blog' come from? Well weblog is too long, so take away the 'we' and guess what 'blog'. From the word blog words like blogger (not this service, someone who writes a blog), blogging and blogosphere came. The blogosphere is all the blogs on the net. Blogging's grew and grew, starting off with a humble blog in 1997, to an international craze, with a new one ... more

    5 Stars You Did WHAT Today? 22/01/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Freedom of Speech, you can share your thoughts with the world

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everyone has an opinion, you might not want to read them all!

    Most of you reading this now are probably familiar with the term 'blogging'; one or two of you may have a blog of your own but I'd take a guess that the majority of readers out there are thinking "blogging is for Internet geeks." So how would you feel if I told you that the articles, reviews and little ditties that you write on Ciao are just another form of blogging? It's probably best, then, to clarify just what a blog is. The noun 'blog' is simply an abbreviation of what was originally termed a 'web log' which many people believe to mean nothing more than an online diary and in a lot of ... more

    5 Stars I've Got One, Have You? 19/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great way to make your own mark online, cheaply and easily

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None....... YET!

    I guess we all dream about having our own little piece of space on the internet. It's nothing to do with fame; it's just somewhere that might just be there long after we have gone, or something someone might stumble upon. You could call it our own creative space. Though they were not necessarily know as Blogs from conception almost 15 years ago, these little pieces of Internet space have grown more and more in popularity. There are certain blogs that have become internet notorious, two women I can think of have done very well at Blogging, putting there innermost thoughts down for the world to ... more

    5 Stars How to Tell the World What You Ate for Breakfast 12/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages free, easy to use, instant community, write about anything and everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages might embarass your relatives

    For nearly eight years I wrote about my life in Cyprus, home education, and general ramblings, on a Geocities web-site. It worked well, but every time I uploaded a new page I had to remember to send photos separately, to ensure they were the right size, and to update all the relevant links. Not being very good with HTML (the language in which most web-sites are written), and inherently lazy, I tended to put it off. Early last year, my site started approaching the 15meg maximum, so I explored other options for continuing. My teenage sons told me I should start a 'blog'. The word blog, for ... more

    5 Stars I like BLOGGING, yes I like to BLOG… 31/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages BRILLIANT

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not at this price, i.e. FREE

    I like BLOGGING, yes I like to BLOG… (Replace BLOG with TRUCK, and you can find the original as a joke song from Not the Nine O’Clock News, trivia fans…) When writing about BLOGGER, it’s inevitable that you will kick off the review with a pathetic pun, because it’s just TOO tempting to weigh in with the standard one liner, so please excuse me for my own little lapse in taste as a starter for 10… BLOG – type in define:blog in the Google search engine (there’s a little hint for you if you want the meaning of a word) and you get the response: “A blog is basically a journal that is available on ... more

    5 Stars Blogging made Easy! 27/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to set up, user friendly, well-organised, easy to update and manage your blog

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I started using Blogger mid-last year when I started writing a blog of my own about the various ways I was discovering to make money online. Blogger is FREE to sign up and I think accepts users all over the world. Blogger is owned by Google so if you already have a google account, you can log into Blogger using your gmail account details or go to Account>Blogger on your google homepage.. You can also sign up to blogger using another email provider of your choice, yahoo, hotmail etc. On the Blogger Homepage, you will find a 'quick tour' which comprises of three easy steps required to set up ... more

    5 Stars Well I'll be 'Blogger'd 15/04/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages free or paid for service, easy to use, one click publishing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages free service sometimes unavailable at peak times

    Get yourself an Internet tool from blogger.com that once you use it you will wonder how on earth you managed without it. It is called a ‘Blog’. Yes, I am serious. It is called a Blog because it is a Web Log. (Say it fast. Weblog…we..blog) Get it? Ok. I really believe that it can be used and appreciated by internet newbies and experienced webmasters alike. Those of you who don’t have a website please read on because you don’t need to build a website to use a Blog. Yes, it works fine all on its own on Bloggers own free web space and it may be all that you need to have a worthwhile ‘presence’ on ... more
