Comments on: It Is Better To Have Your Own Blog http://robmcguire.net/blog/it-is-better-to-have-your-own-blog/ Bite sized pieces of me Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:01:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Darryl http://robmcguire.net/blog/it-is-better-to-have-your-own-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-830 Darryl Tue, 15 Jun 2010 01:03:07 +0000 http://www.robmcguire.net/?p=126#comment-830 Running your own blog —on your own domain, is a fantastic way to maintain complete creative control over your content, look and feel and overall design. Add in knowledge of FTP management, a little CSS, HTML, and PHP coding and you're able to move past merely installing pre-fab templates and get into more advanced customization that can really make your blog unique. Yet, I still find blogging tools like Tumblr and Flavors.me fun, informal platforms to post content without having to worry about the technical aspects of set-up and maintenance. It really just boils down to finding a tool to suit your technical comfort level.

I had a web designer reformat my page etc., etc, but now blogger has installed an update that "might" mean losing all of my updates thus far. I have close to 60 followers and I can't risk losing the site name at this point in time. Not sure what my next steps will be because I don't make enough from the blog right now to even hire someone to reformat with the new template. Looking back, I would have definitely started my own blog. I don't know what my way out is. Ugh... I started a blog about a year ago on blogger.
