David, why don't you get one? You have a lot of links and opinions to share – and that's a good basis for a blog!

Yeah Tony is right. Blogs are worth their while. I would go for a wordpress.com one if I were you or host it yourself (if you have a site). But this is pretty much personal choice Blogger.com can make nice blogs.

Yep. You can also email me news, or post them in your own blog if you wish to of course.

David, actually you can post anywhere you like!!!

For everything Google, this is my spot. Even though I blog extensively, I prefer to post here for our google community. Its much more fun, I think. Its very rarely I cut google anywhere else!!

Secondly, I learn more by the wisdom of crowds and at times I get shot in the foot for making mistakes too.. but thats life :)-

   A blog /site is a good thing to have in todays space and I would suggest you try bloggers its as easy as 1-2-3 :)-

lol..
i agree..
i want to open my own web-site
problem is that i want to open a clean (and also free) domain name
for example:
www.google.com
it doesnt support any type of ads or sponsers
but i want to open a new site the on one hand its totaly free and doesnt look like a site that you make on Google Pages and on the other hand a clean domain
if you know how to do this please tell me

p.s.
a blog isnt really what im searching for :)

1) try typepad.com

2) it has templates and you dont need to worry about ad's!!

3) costs less then $10/- month!!

4) Get a domain and then point it to your blog (domains costs anything from $15-24 for 2 yrs. that is, depending who you register with)

its simple as 1-2-3 -4!!

..yeah the 4th step now, is getting a domain and pointing to your Blog :)-

problem is:
the money.
im not going to pay some domain service company money just because they provide domains.

not that i have a money problem or something..
i just dont trust the web.

/pd, you know about this kind of service but for free?!
if so let me know :)
thanks

David, nothing in life is for free my friend :)-

We all eventually get sucked into whatever..!!

if you are new to blogging, just use blogger. you dont need to place adsense.

when you are confident and trust the web, then you can aqquire a domain and use it..

MS provides a free domain iwth its new live office service
problem is that you must enter your credit card number..

im not going to do that, altough they wont be using my credit number

but its free!
