Blogging Ministry

"How People Blogging Are Changing the World and How You Can Join Them"

By Bob Walsh (Berkeley, CA: Apress, 2007, 351 pages)

An excellent book on why one should blog and how to get started. Bob suggests that one starts by reading lots of blogs and become initially engaged in the blogoshere by leaving comments.

Next he gives suggestions about getting started publishing a blog with Blogger, Windows Live, and TypePad and evaluates which blogging platform might be best for you considering your goals and what type of blog you wish to publish.

Wow! Another great post by Rob, three in a row. A comparison of Blogger and WordPress.com. I found this link embedded in the last teaching by Rob Williams. A lot better than I could have done. Also see my Blogger site and my WordPress.com blog for visual comparison.  Then read my evaluations of each, posted as the first article on each blog.                *Top

There is a complete chapter in this book on the specifics of how to get started with Blogger.  See: my review at my Blogger site.     *Top

I took a look at Blogger today as a potential host and platform for starting a blogging ministry. In order to understand how it works, I set up a new website using Blogger. It took me only 1hr 15 minutes to set it up but I could have done it a whole lot faster. Actually I was impressed with the ease and the results.

Then I posted an article on the new site. The posting procedure is quite simple and easy to use. It had all the editing tools that the more ‘advanced’ programs have. I actually found it easier to use than my Word Press program. It also had additional features like being able to change the color and type of script while in the midst of writing. I was impressed indeed.
