There are two main web log programs that are available at no charge over the Internet . The most popular one is Blogger. Probably the most powerful one is Movabletype. This demonstration web site covers the Blogger program.

Like any good web log system, Blogger allows you to insert links into your text such as this one: Google News. You can also use boldfaced text as well as Italics. In fact, you can use any HTML inside a posting .

As with all good web logs systems, Blogger allows you to change appearance without changing the content. I chose this current template from a very long list of available templates. You can change the way any Blogger web log looks in a few minutes without changing one word of any of the articles or topics.

The normal Blogger web site does not allow you to add comments to an existing topic. I believe you can do this, however, was add-on software. One other disadvantage is that you cannot easily preview a file written by somebody else before it is actually published to the website. This makes Blogger less useful in a collaborative situation where there are journalists and editors.

This little website is a demonstration of the blogger web log system. Blogger is the most popular web log program currently operating in the world. It is very easy to setup , and quite easy to use. With Blogger, you must edit your pages on the Blogger website. The editor is easy to use and has quite a number of features. You have two choices as to where your web log will be. You can use BlogSpot which is a website they provide a post a web log. If you don't mind banner advertising, this can be free . For for a small charge per month you can have a web log with no advertising. The second method is to have the web log on a normal web site. This particular demonstration is set up on one of my web sites.
