Rick I use a blog (blogger) now and no longer use a regular website set up. Most people I see that use blogs simply under use them and do not understand their true benefit. The Blog is easier to maintain; easier to run overall; plus you get tons of stats; google integration items such as google calendar; can plug into youtube better; get better rankings within google for useing a blog... SEO; etc. And I might add with blogger you can optimize it with a click of a button for mobile devices... a huge benefit; Overall cheaper to run as well. I even converted my lakes and river guide into a blog to better integrate google earth. The next step I am working on is developing an online store... blogs do not work well for that yet... Any suggestions would be appreciated. You can see my blogsites as I call them at www.funtosail.com and www.boatingtheinlandnw.com
