    Yeah, that's the next phase. Once the setup is configured, we'll start scouting for some quality beta members to test it. (the whole site will be free though, I hate pay sites).

    I have a lot of blogs! I was on blogger but have most switched over to wordpress now. I use them to archive my ezines and for content as well depending on the site.

    I was using blogger - but decided that if I'm going to start recording massive amounts of data - I want to completely control it - so I'm hosting my own blog....

    i actually have 2 blogs - 1 created using wordpress for my wife and the other hand-coded using tables (i just prefer the flexibility i get from coding my own blog :))

    I have 2 blogs. Both on blogger. Templates makes it so much easier for me as I don't have to worry about coding. Best part.... blogger allows Adsense :D

    I added a Blog hack to my phpBB, so now all any registered member of the board can have their own blog to do with as they choose. I'm using it mostly to keep notes on different things and such.... figure the worst that can happen is I get a higher page count with mostly relevant content (compared to the rest of the site). So far it's working out quite well...

    Really? That's interesting. Can each blog float in it's own directory (or subdomain even)? Can you point me to the hack?

    They live separately from one another, but by table entries alone, bet you could hack on it a bit to do other things though.... extremely flexable in design and controls... the fella that is writing the code is very good.

    You can see them in action on my board in my sig. If you want to goof with it before commiting any changes to your board just register and it'll allow you create one. If you want one or need another blog to do cross blog linking and stuff by all means have at it (open to anyone, just stay in the G-PG ratings)

    The hack itself and some docs are at vince.dynalias.com/blog/

    I had a blog using dasBlog (http://www.dasblog.net/) and have also looked at .Text. I also just started one on Blogger. MovableType is very nice as well.

    I think that blogs are bringing down the quality of content on the web as a whole. Yes, some are good, but like people are saying, they're too easy for anyone to make.

    It's not blogs bringing down the internet. It's crap directories in my opinion.

    I just don't get that.

    The nature of the web isn't elitist.

    Why would making it easier for people to publish their thoughts and opinions online be a bad thing?

    I started one now too. Will get the links up once I tweaked the lay-out and filled it with some posts.

    Couldn't stop thinking about what to post next after the first post. Weird because I know there's no visitors yet but I do run a few websites with 10K+ daily hits and tweaking that doesn't excite me at all... Must be the novelty of it.
