Members Thunderbroom Posted June 28, 2009 Members Share Posted June 28, 2009 As most of you know I'm in a doctoral program, and as of Friday, I'm starting to write my dissertation. The work I've done over the last year has been leading up to this. As I look forward, I believe that sharing this experience with others that may find it helpful could be a good outlet for me to release some of the frustration that I've experienced thus far and will likely face continually until the conclusion of this process. I can also share the insight that I gain along the journey. I'm not sure if any of you blog, but what I'm looking for is recommendations for a blog site to host my ramblings. I know there are a ton of sites out there, and there may not be a best one, but I thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funkee1 Posted June 28, 2009 Members Share Posted June 28, 2009 I like Associated content! Plus, they pay sometimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeeTL Posted June 28, 2009 Members Share Posted June 28, 2009 The only blog site I have either happened across accidentally or have been used by people I know is www.blogspot.som. Valentis basses, Guttermouth Electronics and DRS racks all use blogspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lokidecat Posted June 28, 2009 Members Share Posted June 28, 2009 Blogspot is convenient because it's run by Google. I prefer the interface. Wordpress is more ubiquitous in the blogosphere. /suicide for use of the word blogosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members collinwho Posted June 28, 2009 Members Share Posted June 28, 2009 I like blogger/blogspot. Easy interface plus if you use gmail, you can use the same login (I like not having to remember extra passwords) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted June 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm now on Blogger/Blogspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zamfir Posted June 29, 2009 Members Share Posted June 29, 2009 Blogger has always used blogspot.com as the domain name. Now that Google owns it, you are searchable with relative ease, in theory. I've seen more professional bloggers argue in favor of a wordpress type blog, but hosted on your own paid server. So that you're not at the mercy of a big blog service that suddenly doesn't like your content and takes it down for violating *their* policy. But I am not worried about creating income from a blog, so I don't obsess about doing everything to build an audience to make that happen. I'm lucky to find time to do a blog these days, anyway.

Members zachoff Posted June 29, 2009 Members Share Posted June 29, 2009 http://wordpress.com/ is probably the best one out there. Yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
