Hi,

Yep. Blogger works, and I use it myself for one of my blogs and have since about 1999 or thereabouts.

But…

It doesn’t have the versatility of a WordPress Blog on your own server. You can use AdSense at Blogger, I know, but you are limited to what you can and can’t do.

For example, I’m a big theme manipulator. I find one I like and use the general idea but do a lot of customization. If there’s a sidebar on the left, I definitely want it on the right. Search engines spiders see what’s on the left first, so I want that to be my content.

And you don’t have widgets available at Blogger, either, do you? I haven’t been there in a long time, so I’m not sure how much it’s improved. I just know that WordPress on your own server is the bomb. I wouldn’t go any other way.

I just got my own USB rocket launcher :-) Awsome thing. Plug into your computer and you got a remote controlled office missile launcher with 360 degrees horizontal and 45 degree vertival rotation with a range of more than 6 meters - which gives you a coverage of 113 square meters round your workplace. You can get the gadget here: http://tinyurl.com/2qul3c Check out the video they have on the page. Cheers Marko Fando ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hmm... I'm not convinced this isn't spam, but... It's so damned cute that I wanted to let Marko have his say. This geeko device wouldn't do me a whole lot of good, seeing as I work alone, but hey... who am I to impede in-fighting progress. :-) ---Pat<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('37','markofando'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('37','markofando','Want to start your private office arms race right now? \r\n \r\nI just got my own USB rocket launcher :-) Awsome thing. \r\n \r\nPlug into your computer and you got a remote controlled office missile launcher with 360 degrees horizontal and 45 degree vertival rotation with a range of more than 6 meters - which gives you a coverage of 113 square meters round your workplace. \r\nYou can get the gadget here: http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2qul3c \r\n \r\nCheck out the video they have on the page. \r\n \r\nCheers \r\n \r\nMarko Fando\r\n\r\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r\nHmm...\r\n\r\nI\'m not convinced this isn\'t spam, but...

It is fantastic functionality, third-party plugins make it it a power house. So since they frowned on the commercial end of things I bought my own domain and 'stuck it to the man' Us apes like telling humans to shove it. The Mad Ape ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love it! Control is so important, right? I mean, a blog is your domain. You should be able to do with it as you please. If you're just blogging to have a say, but especially if you're in business, it's uber-important.
