Wrappin' It Up!

Some newscasters and reporters are saying that 2004 has been the "Year of the Blog." Blogs have been sprouting up all over the Internet. Hell, you're reading one right now!

Blogger.com makes building blogs easy, especially since earlier this year when they were acquired by Google and revamped their web site completely. Blogger is to be congratulated for all of the improvements they have made.

I built my first blogs three years ago, including one on Blogger.com. I use MovbableType for two of my blogs, which I don't recommend for newcomers. Their blogging system is overly complicated. I have blogs for my big band, rhythm n'blues, and grammar school web sites. You'll find them listed in the sidebar.

How many blog building sites are there? In a word, zillions! Just search Google for "blog buiilding sites."

This blog, and my others, welcome entries from their members. The trouble is that after someone joins and posts their first entry, they often don't post another. I wish I knew how to correct this. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

In the coming year, I hope members of The Flatted Fifth and my other blogs will post at least one entry per month. This is an open-ended blog, meaning you can write about anything you wish. If you would like to join, just click the Register button in the sidebar. I hope you will.

Let's hope 2005 is a great year for all of us! Happy New Year!
