    I'm new to this site, and also new to the hardcore side of blogging. I used to frequently use those simple publishing sites such as xanga, and livejournal :eek: I started researching and found this site, and some other sources about blogging, and I'm very interested. So far I started with blogspot.com and I am building two blogs at the moment. It seems to be working for me.

    That introduction was a little off-topic, but I wasn't sure where else to post it. What I was going to post about was if you have any suggestions that I should take about blogging, and anything that goes along with it. I'm farmiliar with code, so I can work with things like that, and I know it's involved.

    I would appreciate any feedback, if possible, and I hope to continue to be active here for a while...

    Oh yeah my one blog is http://photoshopinfo.blogspot.com :eek:

    Thanks

    It depends on your reasons for blogging. With me I started for SEO reasons, another site that was easy to keep fresh that I could use in link exchanges. Now I blog cause I enjoy it, gee I speak more to some people via my blog than I do in the "real" world. So my advice is first find the reason and goal of why you have a blog, and then just make it so.

    I have yet to view the site. Agree black is not an "in color" at the moment but if you place a photo or piece of art on white as compared to black it seems to show up better on black.

    There seem to be certain genres in which black is the color of choice.

    Well I don't want to make a blog solely for adsense, or making money. For that particular one, I decided to use photoshop as a topic because it's something I'm familiar with, but also it might attract some attention. if I get some good material up there. So I guess it's a mix between personal, and single content blogging.\

    Thanks for your input
