Any bloggers out there?

Is anyone a blogger? I am looking to talk with someone who has some experience in this area, I need some advice on how/what/where to blog.

Thanks!

I realize this is an old post, but I just started a blog on blogspot.com. It was REALLY easy. Just like setting up an email account. I'm still working out the bells and whistles, so my page is pretty "bare" right now. Just an introductory message. But I'm looking forward to doing more of this.
My blog is at http://bluemomblues.blogspot.com for anyone who is interested!

You should start an Elegant Mommy blog!

By they way, there are some AWESOME t-shirts at lactivist.com. You should consider something like those in your store!

I am really wanting to start an Elegant Mommy blog, I have just been cautious of the time required...how much time did it take you to set up your blog & how much time does it take to maintain?

I think it took about ten minutes to set up, and then it just takes whatever time you're willing to put into it. I've only put two posts so far, but I'm hoping to spend fifteen minutes or so a few times a week to add to it.
One thing about blogspot, though, is that only those who are registered with blogspot can leave "comments". This is nice if you want to "weed out" folks who are just going to add comments to be weird, but I think it isn't as easy for some to use. I think Xanga allows anyone to comment without registering, and then, I think, as a blogger, you can manage the comments that are left (as in deleting ones that might not be appropriate.).

I love blogspot, too. It is sooo easy! I love it, though I wish I spent more time on it. Mine is mostly boring stuff about our days and how my boys are doing, to keep family and friends updated. You can check it out, if you like. www.snipssnails.blogspot.com. I agree, an elegant mommy blog would be fun!

Awww! *blushing* Thanks girls! I may, someday, put pics up, when I figure it out, lol. But, yeah, they are pretty dang cute, if I do say so myself, hehe. Well, not really today, but that's a whole other blog, lol.

Paul is a blogger, too. He uses blogspot. I occasionally blog on myspace, but mostly just updates.
