After a long time, I felt like blogging again. So before this blurp passes out, I decided to do a small write-up on my sporadic toughts.
Apart from adding couple of new blogs, I wanted to change the look and feel of the whole site.
And guess what, eblogger provides only a handful of templates and most of them look pathetic. Even tough I can customize the template.. I am just too lazy to do it.
Who the hell wants to go through all the code, looking for a link to add, deciphering code , looking for style to change.
I think a blog site should provide more templates to choose from. Why not allow the users to be more expressive. I assume this is because blogs are more meant to express ideas in written format... i dont think the sites emphasize on visual aspects much.(look at livejournal blogs)
Neverthless I wanted to make sure, So I browsed different blogsites and social networking sites.
And I would say Microsoft provided better looking blogs.(Windows Live Spaces).(As usual MS gives out easy to use products.. thats how they sells themselves in market.. )best feature is that you can upload hundreds of images and your friends can scroll through all the images quick and fast using a cool tool.
Myspace sites were not bad... Myspace allows users to upload videos, images, connect with friends etc.But blogspot is not a complete social networking site.. as myspace or facebook.
I guess there should be someone at Goolge already working on close intergration of eblogger, Orkut and Youtube..
