I use blogspot from google. Wordpress does have some phenomenal themes, very clean and easy to read. My choice for blogger platform is for other reasons though.

Great info!

Trisha,
I’ve been following along with Suzy for all of your great advise it’s been very helpful!
Your advise from this series, the resources on this site and your feedback on twitter have inspired me to completely re-design my site http://getawaysbydesign.com/
Thank You very much!
Looking forward to the next one!

I think that tweaking the site is a good thing. We retweaked things for a couple of months. It has to evolve with you as you grow and learn. Eventually you will get it just the way you like it and then it will start to manage itself. (except for the posts of course)
In the beginning, we spent as much time tweaking as writing, but now we feel great with the outcome.
We also use Wordpress. It is a fantastic platform! Loving this series. Thanks

You’re absolutely right, Diogo – it’s very easy to spend a lot of time making changes to the look, when we really should be focused on content – I think you’ll really enjoy my Week 6 installment (should post on 09/25/09) because it’s all about content writing!

I like your final remarks.

The basic setup is always very rewarding and it can be very addictive. You do something, and you see an instant result right in front of you. If we don’t watch out, we may end up only tweaking the site and not writing as much as we should.

Cheers, D.
