I am not sure what category this fits into but it seemed to fit under general chatting! I see lots of you have blogs....what are some of your favorites? Are they easy to set up? Is one better than another? What is the general concensus? I like the looks of the country style ones but how do you find them??Thanks.

I used wordpress before I opted to host my own and I really liked it. A lot of people here seem to like blogspot though. There are tons of themes you can download and then you can customize things with in them. It just takes getting one and playing around with it to learn. Good luck!

I use blogspot because it is free and easy. If you put blogspot on your browser, it will take you to where you can set up a blog. If I can do it, anyone can!!

I use Blogspot as well! I like it! You can go to www.cutestblogontheblock.com or www.hotbligetyblogs.com, and www.shabbyblog.com... I believe they all have easy downloadable very decorative templates you can use easily with Blogspot.
Best of luck on your new blog!

I have set up three blogspots through www.blogspot.com. One is my own to just share, another is my little "store" and the third is my hubby's "store". They are easy to set up. I have used backgrounds, buttons and blinkies on my two blogs from www.cutestblogonthe block.com and www.shabbyblog.com. Those are easy to download too.

They can consume a lot of time, but they are pretty easy to use. You can download your own photos into them as well. I'm not an expert by any means . . . just try to do them and enjoy them.
HAVE FUN "BLOGGING"!

When it gives you all the info in the box(on shabbyblogs)-how do you get that onto your blog? Do you have to cut & paste?

Karla,
I assume you are talking about the "gibberish" which is actually the code. Yes, you copy that and then when you go back into your blogspot dashboard you paste it in as "html/script". Hope that helps . . . can be confusing, huh??

How can I make this a link? I saw someone talking about selling off their blog how does one do that?
