Inner Dialogue

I almost can't help it. Toss a new tech toy in front of me and I just have to play with it. Nevermind that I haven't even been in the shower yet! I saw the headline about wordpress.com hosted blogging and just had to check it out for myself - so here I am!

One of the things I didn't like about Blogger was the inability to create categories. That was a major limitation. Now I'll admit, I haven't played at Blogger for a while so maybe they have upgraded a few things since then (that will be my next stop). I do really like the flexible interface here and the full range of features available. The ability to upload and drag/drop images into the post is very nice. There seems to be some limitation on the ability to tweak the design, but most users aren't hard core geeks and will be happy with the available themes (although I can get into the post code and tweak to my heart's content). I also like the ability to create and organize static content pages not driven by the blog engine. That will make it easy for people to create a full-blown website around the blog. Very cool.

Ok, enough writing here. Time to go push the buttons some more to see what else it can do!
