So you have an infinite way to blogg…… FACEBOOK, Twitter, Tumbler, and BLOGGER. So you say to  yourself, self why so many.

They all do the same thing get you from point a to point b. here is what i have found on some differences.

Blogs can be used to from updating your friends and family about your life, Business web sites, giving your own “Dear Abby” advice column, discussing your political views while having the option to engage with comments and feedback, or relating life experiences in a topic of interest. Hosting blog has is as diverse as creating one, options like having multiple contributors, assigning projects via outsourcing or you can choose to run your own solo show, sometimes the time it takes to explain you will be done, but that’s just one school of thought. One day planning to host your own podcast feeds.

Posting

 

Once your blog is set up, Blogger has a basic WYSIWYG editor. (What you see is what you get) This is not necessarily a bad thing. Most blogging tools do not have robust html editors, and the ones that do often require java or other plug-ins.If you need more formatting options and a larger window, you can use Google Docs to post to your Blogger blog. You could also do advanced editing with HTML. Blogger has an HTML tab to let you do this directly, although it does not allow JavaScript.

Email Your Posts

You can optionally configure Blogger with a secret email address, so you can email your posts to your blog. This is handy for making updates on the fly or updating from your cell phone or other mobile device.

Pictures

Blogger will let you upload pictures from your desktop and post them to your blog. You can choose the basic layout and size of your images, and they’ll be uploaded to Bloggers’s server space, so you don’t have to host the pictures on a different website.That doesn’t mean you can’t post with pictures that you’ve hosted elsewhere on the Web. You can also use Picasa Web Albums to post pictures to your blog.Google Video and YouTube videos can similarly be directly linked into your blog posts.
