Blogger

Starting off properly would be an ideal way to handle this blog. Keeping with the general topic at hand, and given this new area of the internet I have come across, I guess the most logical thing to do is go ahead and do my first post about "Blogger" itself.

Upon looking into finding a free blogging site to use for my posting pleasures, Blogger was one of the first on the search list. Automatically, that gave this website a big plus. Easy accessibility to new browsers is always a good thing. I work at a machine shop that does a lot of work for the government, so needless to say, our HR Department and our Tech people are somewhat like a small group of virtual nazis when it comes to our internet activity. Most "Social Networking" areas of the net are inaccessible through their servers. Blogger, on the other hand, is NOT blocked. That gave the site another bonus towards the good.

Keep in mind, I do NOT have a lot of previous experience with blogging. Nor do I have much experience in any kind of web-hosting in general. On that note, Blogger has a quick and easy setup for new accounts and blog pages. The selection of backgrounds, layouts and coloring options is pretty big. Most of the templates are fairly enjoyable too. It literally took a matter of seconds to be set up and ready to go. Yet another big plus.

Next, and what I think is quite important, is the ability to use this through my phone. I haven't really done it yet, but I have taken a look at the options and general layout of the Android application, which is free as well. The simple fact that my Google account is used to sign in to this site helps out, considering its the same account used for my Android. Like I said, I haven't really used the application yet, so as far as how the interface and actual usage of it goes, I don't know yet. I will be using it soon though and will probrably update the blog when I do so. Just a small FYI, it will most likely be good news, seems to be the trend with the site so far.

I have only been here for a little while today, so I haven't been able to really look around yet and see how the online community is. Soon I'll have time to sit down and really get myself settled in. At that time you can also expect another update.

I don't really know if this seems too small to be a usable or reliable review, but considering I have no followers right now, I would imagine it doesn't really matter. Either way, I think I would recommend this site to any bloggers out there, current or future. At least, I would so far...
