Another site just for fun

Author: jc

yeah, I have been simplifying my life and for some reason I decided to add something to complicate it some more.

Oh, and I really wanted to build something with iWeb to see what it was like.

This is a repost from one of my favorite bloggers Merlin Mann at 43Folder.com

Building a quick blog?

I tripped across this today and thought it was pretty good. A lot of people have blogs through blogspot or wordpress, etc.. and the all seem to look alike. This site will let you move your template around like no body’s business and you don’t have to know any code at all. It starts off with basic templates and then allows you to adjust everything about them, and I do mean everything. I didn’t do a lot to my account, but with a few basic changes it doesn’t look like any of their templates at all. The other nice thing is that they allow you to point your domain to you account and no one knows that you are using their service at all.

So if you want a quick no hassle blog that will handle media and just about anything you throw at it. Check SquareSpace.com out.
