Blogger is a simple
and quick way to get
a blog up and
running.
You can use it for
your own
professional diary,
to run a blog for
your course or for
your students to keep
their own
learning journals.
Blogger is now owned by Google.
Comments from those who selected
Blogger as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
"Es la base de todo lo
demás, el punto de encuentro. En este momento supera
a Wordpress claramente, ya que la posibilidad de
editar el CSS permite encontrar soluciones a casi
todo. Echo de menos más plantillas y la posibilidad
de crear páginas sin recurrir a trucos cutres.
[It is the base of all the others, the point of contact.
At this moment it surpasses to Wordpress clearly, since
the possibility of publishing the CSS allows to find
solutions to everything almost. I miss more groups and
the possibility of creating pages without resorting to
miserly tricks]"

"I have been on Blogger since 2004. I
recently looked seriously at changing to Wordpress
or Typepad but decided I had no compelling reason to
do so. I have only been writing very sporadically
but this year hope to be much more consistent.
Still, I think Blogger will continue to serve me
well."
John Schaffer
"
I didn’t choose my blogging tool, I just took the easy
option and used the one that Google provided. It seems
absolutely fine. I now supplement it with a desktop blog
editor called Windows Live Writer, which I prefer to
Google’s own editor.
"for making me learn
before sharing, for making me learn more by sharing"

"I
have found blogger.com the most intuitive site for
learners setting up a new blog, especially the new
version."
Anne Paterson
"Blogging – not a particular blogging tool,
but just the fact of blogging has helped me know more
and forced me to learn. It is a bit like teaching is the
best method of learning. I use
Blogger for my blog."
Manish Mohan
"Still Blogger - but Wordpress is a good runner-up!"

experience, questions " Malinka

"There are lots of
great blogging apps available. I still use one of the
standards here, though others have more features."

Benjamin
Hamilton
"As
an avid blogger, I find the tool easy to use and
straightforward to set up and add posts…of course I have
a laundry list of items that I'd like to see added but
it does a great job for quick and easy blogging."
Karl Kapp
"While everyone seems to get the blog
thing now, few are leveraging the technology for what,
at its root, it really is: a very quick web page
creator. It can be a place to list assignments, a site
for student interaction and discussion, and even a
location for structuring and hosting an entire course.
Google “23 Things” to see a blog-for-training at its
best."
Jane Bozarth
"simple
- free - you can be very creative with the new version"

"I have set up a blog using
Blogger and use this as an occasional
reflection tool. I am enjoying linking
other tools to my blog." Elaine
Talbert
"This
is my basic essential survival tool for
writing my blogs.
As I look around more I realise it's probably not the
best tool in the world for creating blogs, but it's
certainly an easy tool to use and one that does the job
well and doesn't cost anything." Nik
Peachey
"It
may not be the best compared to other tools
but I find it simply works and meets my blogging needs down to
the ground."

over 2 years now, and so far, so good."
