My friend Scot, Thanks for adding this valuable information to this thread. As you can attest to the vast amount of info about blogging, yet, we are just touching the surface to it's full potential. Kenneth

My friend Olagoke, Blogs will look as different as websites do. Some may look like forums, look like a bunch of text entries, text and pics, plain backbrounds, colored backgrounds, backgrounds with pictures, have comments under a posting, some ads or no ads. Here is a couple of samples to blogs. http://www.bizzyblogz.com/krsword

These are just my examples and feel free to search the term blog and find more to get an idea what they are and how others are using them. Kenneth

hi, i had to get in here. i think i have blog fever. i started my bizzyblog about three weeks ago now. it was going to be just for advertising. well, that has changed. i have so many things i want to do with it. i have ideas for things to write. in a minute i'm going to go share a muffin recipt that i have fallen in love with. if you have things to share or save, if you want to create, if you just want to have fun, a blog is the way to do it. bizzyblogs is so easy. if you can type and copy-paste, you can make a bizzyblog in about ten mintes. if you decide you don't like something you can change it. come look at mine. http://www.bizzyblogz.com/nanonmyway/ oh yes, it's an added plus because you can make money too. now who doesn't like to have fun and make money. i have six people in my downline now, and we are going to create, have fun, and tell the word about bizzyblogs together.got to go get that recipt on. bye

Hi Kenneth, Yes, very hot and pertinent content. Some of the big companies also cruise blogs to monitor customer sentiment towards their companies and products. And of course, both Google and Yahoo have recently added blog search functions as well. Now I just have to get off my duff and make one again (I failed with Blogger.com maybe 2 years ago, the interface didn't seem to work), of course, after I update the websites I made.

Hey Kenneth, Well well, I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into here LOL... this can be an exhaustive topic, as I've discovered! I'm a little surprised I haven't seen our friend Trina Schiller in your new forum yet, maybe it's just a matter of time. Trina introduced me to Blogging in the beginning of this year - thank God :-) Let me add to your list okay? Blogs can be used to - MAKE MONEY! Another benefit of Blogs is meeting many, many new friends (some in some "high" places). One of the downsides initially is the learning curve about comments but in the long run, for me anyway, that has become a positive - I look at it as "job" security :-) - sure keeps me busy. Did I mention MAKE MONEY! In quite a variety of ways BTW... There are quite a few others, you've done a good job of covering them - yep - Limitless covers it rather well! Good luck with your new forum, try to stay awake LOL - this will certainly keep you busy... Have a Wonderful Blogging Day! Mark
