Opitions for Blogging

Blogging is seen as the most common thing on the internet today. Blogs can range from personal to news, and can range in categories. But, what if you want to start your own blog, and don't know where to begin. Well, as a blogger myself, I have 2 choices for you.

Wordpress is commonly seen on the internet, and it is used mostly for its ease of use, and it's huge range of plugins and themes, which allow you to control and design how your blog performs to your internet audience. Wordpress 2.8 was released last week. See the video below to see if Wordpress would help you start your blog.

Squarespace is another option, and if you are a social blogger with thecreativeone.tv, you are already using it! Squarespace makes it very easy, not only to make blogs, but a full website. The best thing about Squarespace is that you don't even need to know html or css, which many people can be scared of.

Myspace Copying Facebook

Facebook currently dominates the online social media scene right now. For those of you who use Facebook, you should be used to seeing a little bar going all the way across the bottom of your screen that allows you to send IM's, view online friends and see your updates. Well today I logged into my Myspace and I found an exact copy of that bar Facebook has, except its in blue. Come on now. I've always liked Myspace more than Facebook, but for Pete's sake, can you please come up with something more original? 

Internet Explorer 8 Release

Microsoft released its latest version of Internet Explorer at 12:00 ET which, for those of you who have been living under a rock for the last 5 years, is basically the equivalent to Safari, firefox, opera... But basically it's an application for exploring the internet thus internet explorer. This software was in beta for a while now and is finally in full swing. It can be downloaded in 25 languages. one down side is that for mac users (such as myself) there is no mac version. Now this isn't a big deal for me because I'm currently using safari 4 beta and I couldn't be happier with it. But for those of you who have windows OS and the new IE leave a comment about it. We'd love to hear from you!
