I'm not a real blogger (I have nothing worthwhile to say) but I like playing with cool things. I usually like to play with things that I can install on my web server or things I can tweak myself through code. For a blog my preference is .Text or the new Community Server. But in the past few days I've been testing Blogger - mainly because it's a Google company now and Google is just...well...you know. The main thing I really like about Blogger is the ability to post an article via e-mail. This isn't a feature specific to Blogger but it's difficult to do this when running your own blog if you're not running your own mail server. One thing I don't like about Blogger is what appears to be the lack of an image gallery. ModBlog (http://www.modblog.com) is a new blog that has this but I don't think it runs as slick as Blogger. What Blogger does have however is Picasa and Hello. Running the two together is very nice if you want to post pictures to your blog. Picasa (http://www.picasa.com) is a photo management application that is very nice. I've used it all of 20 minutes and it makes me want to go out and buy a nice digital to take tons of pictures just so I can use it. Hello (http://www.hello.com) is an app that allows you to share photos with friends and family in a unique way or post your pictures with captions to your Blogger blog via the BloggerBot.
