    I'm curious to see how many members here actually have a blog.

    Select yes if you have a blog, had a blog, or have managed a blog.
    Select no if you don't have a blog and don't intend to start one.

    Are there any favorites apps for blogs? We use php and adsense in our sites and been thinking about getting one started. Our sites are heavy on images. Are there any better suited for this type of blog?

    I've even set up a couple of my content sites with MovableType. Each individual page (post) generated is nice for SEO.

    See... now I don't know what to vote (though it's too late actually as I allready voted "no") since I don't have a blog, but I do intend to get one pretty soon. Just need to get myself in gear and get it started... It seems that the first step is allways the toughest :)

    I've had a blog in some shape for form for a few years now, unfortunately I got screwed over when Upsaid decided to close free accounts. I used Greymatter for a while before writing my own PHP/MySQL-based system.

    I also have a Livejournal somewhere, although I never really use it, only have the feature so I can put some people's LJs on my friends list and see all the updated posts easily. :)

    I have a "few" I use to add fresh content to some of our sites daily. I use Blogger.com to manage the blogs, but 90% are hosted on the domains themselves

    I have about 10 blogs. Some are updated pretty regularly for business purposes like www.gettermlifenow.com/wordpress and others are general musings and trying to help other bloggers get links, like the one at Blogs for Buds.

    While I am on topic, I just posted a new link to a site that has a VERY INTERESTING twist on the concept of "Six Degrees of Separation" and "Pay it Forward" -- Check it out by clicking on www.Daniel-Gutschenritter.com. Forward that link to as many people as you can and lets get the good vibes rolling!

    Peace,

    I have 3 blogs, with 3 more in the works. I found b2evolution to best fit my needs as a blog app. It's pretty much SEO'd out of the box.

    One of my new blogs will actually be a forum fed blog. Meaning I'll be installing phpbb and having a full forum powered site, but the first page will be blog format from an admin only sub-forum. Just working some bugs out, but it should be pretty cool.

    I've never seen http://b2evolution.net/ before. Do you like it? The first blog I saw that used it said "F*ck it" and they changed to WordPress. ;)

    Because for some reason the feature doesn't like my MT feed.

    I don't have a blog, but I do like to write (only when I'm in the writing mood). Maybe when I'm not so busy I'll consider starting one.
