Blog-Ends Everywhere

Recently, I have started to understand the power and evolution of the blog. A blog is a web log that serves as a personal or professional journal where other people can comment or provide feedback which is unedited. There are plenty of options and I think I have tried them all in the past week. Unfortunately, there is no perfect solution that seems to work in every case. Each option had benefits and problems.

Moveable Type: Great but you need your own server or find a host. Need to keep looking into this option since many people are using it.

TypePad: Another great option but most corporations block blog sites and my material is specifically geared toward major corporations. In addition, I am not sure how Google and Yahoo index blog sites.

FrontPage plus webpart: Work good but required me to built two pages for every post

FrontPage Alone: This was wonderful too but feedback was required to be emailed and you couldn’t subscribe with an RSS Feed.

I feel like Charlie Brown and Luci is holding the Blog Ball. In the end, I am going to try the Typepad option and see what happens. I will also build a Corporate Version that can get pass the security police and be viewed during normal business hours.
