I looked at both sites given, and I must say that your idea looks VERY do-able! Again, I'm not too sure about how blog sites attract an audience, etc., but, I am for getting started any time you wish. Please tell me what I can do to help with this, and, perhaps you should be our "blog-master."
Works for me. I primarily want to see what improvements were made for the free side of Blogger. Most things like "Post a comment", "Post a link", and photos come with the paid side of blogger.
Blogs attract an audience much like any other site. Alot of times people post diary type entries revealing their innermost thoughts and desires or whatever. The difference between a Blog and a standard website is you can post several times a day on a blog. With the Yahoo group, you update as you go but some of us have daily digest rather than individual. Plus you can put the link to the blog and/or your website in your signature. That way whenever you conduct daily business or conversation with people, the links are always there for people to click on. You might recall I have three links in my signature.
