Blog technology has gotten a lot better lately, chief among these advancements is the number of sites that are willing to host your Blog for free. This is one such site that I think is powered by Google, or at least their servers (they seem to have a lot of them) since you have to have a Gmail account to create a Blog. Anyways, I thought I'd check it out to see how I liked it and see if it's a good candidate for us to create our Blogs, so consider this a demo.
Thus far, it seems pretty cool. I was able to create this Blog in a few simple steps. The editor seems pretty nice, I can already see it has spell checking, which is key for us engineer types.
It has the other things you'd expect:
- Different Fonts
- Different Colors
- Formatting Options
- The Ability to Upload Pictures
- The Ability to Upload Videos
As you can see the picture uploading works well (sorry I don't have any good family pictures on my laptop, so you get a screen shot of our AV-8B model instead). You can set up where the image is displayed in your Blog post, which is nice for us obsessive compulsive types.
Well it's getting late here in Jacksonville so I'm signing off for now. After taking this site for a demo run, I think I'll keep it. If you guys decide you like it, I can help walk you through getting things setup .... on one condition ... no Blog postings that are ALL IN CAPS .... I'M LOOKING AT YOU MOM. ;) Just kidding. :)
