Blogging with the Google Blogger

Google Blogger:

You know if I would have known that Google added so many great benefits, added widgets, added HTML boxes, etc… to the features available on the Google Blogger sites they offer, I could have saved a week of programming code for my own blog site that I created, with the help of a Serendipity program. Best of all Google offers these Blog Sites For Free ;)

Serendipity Blog Programs:

A great format to start a blog site with, but if you want to customize the Blog…Yikes. You better learn how to do PHP, HTML, and add Widgets that are probably embedded with another programmer’s personal coding (Might be good, or might be a Trojan…no not the good Trojan…I mean Virus)

Open Source Programming:

·         I am all for Open Source programming, as it definitely allows you to build on someone else’s bright ideas, reverse engineer to improve, or just see how it is built to understand the language. I thought French, Latin, and Spanish were hard enough, but to keep up now I am learning HTML, PHP, SQL, CSS, ASP, WAV, WMV, MP3, Flash and a whole bunch of others.

·         Usually I just need to add one item for example like a music player on your website, yup you got it just a little MP3 player, sounds easy enough; not really at all at least not for me.

·         How difficult is it to learn a new programming language? Glad you asked, perfect way to explain the English Language has 26 Letters. Versus Mandarin Chinese minimum 2000, and maximum over 40,000 letters or characters. (Depending on how well you master the language)

·         Computer programming well tops that list with millions of possibilities, maybe billions?

Google Blogger Advantages:

So what is the advantage of using a program like Goggle Blogger when you wish to create a Blog? For me it meant 2 hours of work compared to 180 hours of work. Yes the Serendipity Blog is up and running, but still many bugs that I haven’t got time to figure out, and I have heard that Wordpress, SiteCatalyst, b2evolution, also have learning curves…of course some of these have lots of bells and whistles, like SiteCatalyst, but come on I am not a newspaper with tons of editors writing their hearts out.

What I Like about Google Blogger:

·         Easy to Navigate

·         Easy to adjust for moderating user comments…click yes or no

·         Built in Captcha Codes, no messy Spam, super easy…click yes or no

·         You Tube users, should love compatibility (Google owns YouTube)

·         Easily formats to your Google account, Profile Database, and everything else

·         Choose from tons of Widgets…no charge

·         Search Engine Friendly

o   Easily adjust site settings…look and feel

o   Easily adjust size layouts of template boxes…a little programming knowledge is required

o   Easily add your own logos, and designs

o   I believe you can add Meta Tag Data through template HTML settings

o   Also believe you should be able to add Google Analytics through template HTML settings

o   If not they allow you to create your own template design and upload…Wow

This list I could go on, but why, you get the point. Thank you Google for creating and offering this service to us out in the World, I know I appreciate your hard work, I think lots of others agree, love your philosophy give to the World…and they will use happily use Sponsored Links to keep your business afloat.
