Whats the best software to use?

[Daffs]

Don't know, I use blogger.com. I know some use wordpress.

[Tanya]

I've only ever used Wordpress but lost it when I moved sites

[Chell]

Blogger is owned by Google so is picked up in the search engines very quickly. I can post and I get a Google alert almost straight away if I have mentioned the words that my alerts are for.

[littlesheep]

I agree with Chell - blogger is great for increasing the chances of hits from google

[TinkerTailor]

I agree about Blogger. I used Wordpress for FMAF and nothing got picked up whereas with Blogger I get the posts in my alerts almost straight away.

I use blogger for my personal blog, but I use my the blogging software I wrote myself on my web site. Not so sure why I keep up the blogger account TBH?

[Daffs]

Are you going to do a blog Toni?

[Ravenfire]

Not sure yet I may do. I was going to do a Mumszone one as I saw they are another good way of getting your site known!

[Daffs]

That would be cool!

[naturalnursery]

A MZ blog would be cool.

Axx

I've gone with blogger. Someone already has mumszone as the name though so have had to go with mumszones!

http://mumszones.blogspot.com/

Nothing on it yet!

[Ravenfire]

Has anyone had a nosey at my blog, am I doing it right or should it be more general and chatty. Please ignore any typos I got so excited at doing it I got carried away and my fingers were flying all over the keyboard

[TinkerTailor]

So far so good! And I especially like the pink!

[Ravenfire]

Cant believe it, it has a page rank of 6 already!! :cheesy:

[Tanya]

everytime I click on that link after a few seconds it takes me to a page that says 'Sorry, we couldn't find http://http//mumszones.blogspot.com//robots.txt.' :unsure:

maybe my pc's on the blink?

[Ravenfire]

Oh thats strange. Try this one:-

http://mumszones.blogspot.com

[nichepburn]

that's my website finally gone live!!
(taken it's time - now nearly 3 weeks overdue, but got it pretty much the way i wanted it...)

the blog on the site is done through wordpress - first time i've ever done one, so no experience of anything else. looks like it'll take a while to get the hang of.....

[Tanya]

http://mumszones.blogspot.com

nope that's doing it too grrrrrrrrrrrrr

it must be just me as no one else is moaning :cheesy:

[littlesheep]

Looking good :D

[incywincy]

Looks great! ... I will link you on my blog later =D

[Ravenfire]

Thanks I will probably put logo on at some point when I work out how do do properly and change the colours to match!

I have blogs (yes, more than one) and one used to be a business blog but I found it didn't really do much for the business at the time so I turned it into a bit of a political ranty letting off steam blog instead.

Now it attracts visitors and some do wander onto my site. I am currently debating running the new writing focused site as mostly a blog with links for book buying on there somehow too. I have blogs on both blogger and blogsome and they're a bit different but it's really a case of what does what you want it to. I like blogsome and I switched to it when blogger was messing me about. Blogger has since upgraded to new software and is much better. I looked at wordpress but it wouldn't let me do some stuff that I like on the free version - I'm a tight fisted git!

I suspect self hosted is the way to go for me but it's a scary prospect!

[Tanya]

I have a blog on my website, I just added a new page. Do you think it would be better to have a blogger one too for SE purposes?

I think it's worth it Tanya. I thought you started one a while back?

[Tanya]

I had one with Wordpress then lost it when I changes hosts grrrrrr, I thought I started a blogger one too but couldn't find it :cheesy:

Have started another one now :happy72:

:happy72: Lets hope it brings you lots of xmas sales
I think they are a great way of getting noticed ... even if its just another way of showing off your product images and competitions etc
