Help Please With Blog

Post by ncborn »

I don't know if this is the proper place for me to ask for help on this or not but if not I do apoligize. I would like to share files and other things and have been trying to do a blog. I have 2 and don't know which to use but I would just like to stick with one. Could you please help me by checking them out and let me know which is best. If this is not allowed I again apoligize but if it is ok I apprciate your opinion.

They still need a lot of work. I am still learning with all of this and need lots of help. I do so appreciate all the help from this forum.

Here are the 2 blogs

This probably doesn't help, but I like the Blogspot design the most.

I like both of your blogs! I'm kinda partial to blogspot though.....probably cause that's where mine is. Anyway, I would suggest checking out other people's blogs for ideas and "jacking" them! LOL.

Here's a link to a Split Coast Stampers post where many people gave great ideas for making a blog go from great to fantastic!

(I kept it bookmarked and refer back to it time and again - hope it helps!

Hi. They are both very nice, but I like the design of the wordpress one better. It is more subdued and easier on my eyes. This is just my personal opinion. HTH

I'm with Pastda on which design layout I prefer. I don't see well and the Wordpress layout and design was easier for me to see and read.

I think you should choose the venue that is easier for you to use, the layouts and color choices are flexible on both.

I tried both when I started and found blogspot was easier for me. I'm off to look at the content now. :lol:

Thank you all for your opinions. I like both of them. both have some good and different points but I guess I will go with blogspot as I too believe it is easier to work with and being new that is important. I have added some more widgets. If anyone has any problem with please let me know. I just tried to find some things relevant to crafting and will see how they do and maybe I have too many now so I probably will take some of them off as I go along.
The link was really helpful too and I will also refer back to it. Thanks again to all of you.

I have noticed that some have one blog for personal diary sharing and tutorials, and another for items to sell and paypal.

I like the blogspot one...feels more personal,too.

I have two blogs...one I try to keep more exclusive for my svg and Inkscape related work
