Blogspot?

[fangirl_says]

Hey, does anyone here use Blogspot extensively? I have one here, though obviously I haven't used it much so far. I'm toying with the idea of using it as a public, fandom-only blog, but I'm not familiar enough with it to have any clue how to best use it. I mean, without flists, how do people know you have posted? How do they read you? It annoys me when I'm completely clueless. *grumps* I did just realize that Semagic would allow me to cross-post to Blogspot, which would simplify the posting part.

Anyway, I'm not planning to stop posting here (or IJ or JF or...you get the picture) or anything; I'll continue posting most fandom stuff publically and most personal stuff flocked (except when I'm an idiot who FORGETS TO LOCK THE PERSONAL STUFF ARGH.)

I have a blogspot blog here, which I use all the time... and so does my Latin prof here for all her classes and former students to post things on, and I post there constantly too. I use a blogroll on the side of my page to keep track of the people whose blogs I want to keep track of. Basically, I just check them every now and then to see if anything new has been posted and catch up. I don't use feeds because I've never been able to figure them out (although, I've also never really tried).

Recently, blogger has added a feature where you can click a box when you comment and have subsequent comments e-mailed to you, so you know if other people respond to your comments (before, you'd have to remember where you had commented and navigate back to it to see if people responded). In a lot of ways, blogger takes more work than lj ('cause you don't have a f-page to keep everyone's posts nice and organized, but the volume there tends to be less), and is much more public, but I still really like the format...
