Thread: How to Blog

Now go easy Harry! My job gives me aMac. My Mrs has decided that our life is worthy of a blog. Harry!!!

So which is the best easiest cheapest way to go. If the Program has Instructions in Thai that would help.

Cheers

wordpress.com

blogger.com

plus others.

no instructions, just type, submit and add pics.

bit like posting on TD.

My kids used www.blogspot.com. When they tried to start it here all the instructions and the such came out in Thai. So they waited to set it up till they got to the states worrying that native speakers could not figure it out. Its owned by google so I guess they detect and set the language to where your IP is.

It worked fine for them and they had fun blogging about a months journey to America without mom and dad.

why not just speak the blog to you wife/fan?

Why ask me? I wouldn't touch a mac with a shitty stick.

And are you sure you want your missus grassing you up to all of her Thai friends?

Just thought you'd give a dig about Macs and shitty sticks!

Almost all her photos are of her and 2 golden retrievers she has stolen from friends. Think she wants to do a blog of our sailing stuff. Due to the cost of Macs (Work gives me the Macs) we will probably go back to PC

I know back to the dark side. Back to the Dark Side.

All work on Macs?

She is giving me the gears about using windows live writer, suppose I can split my hard drive to make her happy.

Well each to their own I am very happy " so far "

Au contraire, I think Macs and their users are made for each other.

Remember, unless you're at least a Julia Roberts-caliber celebrity, no one gives a good goddamn about your life.

It's her bloody idea. If she wants to post pics of her and the odd pic of me in the South Seas OK.

With Blogger/Blogspot you can set the language when you set up your blog.

She is off and running. I have no idea. SouthPacificEngagement.com is the site.

All I know is that I am in charge of the boat section.

Pretty site

"We will update more this column in spring."

It needs a lot more "content". A few "sailor" stories would't go amiss.

It is looking a lot better that when I first checked it out.
She must be getting the hang of it.
For a bit of content, and history, ("sailor" stories") it might be a good idea to include the stuff from your thread on here about touring BC.

Excuse me if it is already on there, I didn't spend a lot of time checking around.

^ Cheers Gus, She said she had put some up I will check myself again. I am impressed that she has got it so far. No doubt it will get better. Thanks for the input!
