Why We Use Blogger

The choices of tools for blogging are growing rapidly. They range from dedicated online sites (such as Blogger) to server based scripts and software (such as Movable Type) and from free (with and without ads) to reasonably priced. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. I started out with Blogger and have had a good experience using it for my weblog. I have also been using it in my classes for about a year now with few problems along the way.

“Blogging is fun but I’m afraid I’m gonna end up with seven blogs that I’m obsessed with updating and six hundred blogs that I have to read daily. No big deal, could be worse. I could have a constant pinching sensation in my nether regions. But I don’t!”
