Which blog do you use, and why? I was a complete tech ignoramus when I began blogging in 2005 or 2006; and since most of my friends, and my daughter (Anjana, also on this list) were on LiveJournal ( LJ), and it was a fairly vibrant community in Bangalore then, I too joined it.
The DDOS attacks, and several tech problems meant that most of my friends moved out of LJ not much longer after that. I too started blogs on Blogger and WordPress (WP). In some undefined way, Blogger did not seem to suit me and though I still use my Blogger id to comment on other posts, I don't use it. However, I started backing up my LJ posts to WP. I see that LJ is moribund, now , and I have, perhaps, 3 readers for my posts (I don't usually see how many people read my posts, on either blogs or on FaceBook.) However, I still find that LJ seems to have several features like cut-text, an easily available setting where the post can be seen only by me, and so on, that even more tech-oriented blogs like GitHub don't have. When I started, I did not use a camera. Over the years, photography featured more and more in my posts. But just lately, I tend to make my photo posts on FB and use the blog more for my thoughts and observations...though I still do use photos too. So...what is your blog site preference, and why? Deepa.
