Starting a blog

[sterne.law@gmail.com]

I finally realized that a Blog has some value. It is a form of web site without costs - Perfect. Any suggestions where to go to start one?

the blogging sites I know about(free):

http://www.blogger.com

http://wordpress.com/ (free as well. I do believe there is a version that you can use to host the blog yourself)

I seriously recommend you use Wordpress, outstanding! Also if you want a nice free template for your WP blog you can get one here

Nice start on the blog.

Thanks. You could also load an RSS feed widget and pull an RSS feed from here too. Constant new content that's reasonably on topic - especially if you use this one http://www.theforumsa.co.za/forums/e...S2&forumids=70

I started another one www.labourlawandhr.blogspot.com
My first one I like the layout of the headings compared to where the posts are one after anothe ron blogspots. Can a blog have a heading with drill down menu?
Guess one cant have everything ones own way and will have to choose which features override which.
I will try Chatrmaster suggestion later.
And will try the RSS feed as well. This is quite an interesting learning experience.
One more question - how to I put my blog address(is taht the term) into my posts. I see many have it and I presume one does not type it in each time?

[twinscythe12332]

in your User CP take a look for the signature section. there you can place links and the likes.

Must I get it to point some where else?How? Thanks

[twinscythe12332]

what do you mean by "get it to point somewhere else?"

[sterne.law@gmail.com]

Okay i got the address in posts thing. Cool.
I am really concerned about teh ordering and layout.
I will have so much info it needs to be organized so the category and hierachy feature is imperative
Also is it possible to put attachments - lets say I want the CCMA form available for people to print, without making it a post. Can this be done?

You said that my link to saforum landed on front page - were you suggesting it go straight to say teh forums page? if so - how?
