Day Twenty-Six (of 30) Cop Out

I'm running out of new and unique topics, and I've gotten behind on this project over this weekend. It's been a busy week, and with a deadline at work on Wednesday, it's not about to slow down. So, what can I discuss that's new? A ha!

Blogger. This blog is published on Blogger, formerly known as Blogspot, and now owned and operated by Google. I am constantly impressed that they can continue to offer the tool for free considering that they are still regularly updating the functionality. The most recent update adds new backgrounds and themes, so you can more easily update or customize the look of your blog.

Did you know that you can post to a Blogger blog from a normal cell phone? It's true. You can also add contributors with limited permissions, and the list of "gadgets" continues to grow. If you start to build a list of followers, you could convert that readership into some money by using Google AdSense. You can even stylize the ads to work seamlessly into your blog design.

I have a WordPress account and have built web sites in HTML and using various tools, but Blogger is, by far, the easiest and most robust tool I've found. Build your own!
