Starting a new Blog V 2.0
Setting up the blog:
Was easy, however with slow dial up connections , like in developing countries, where I live, the Google server often times out, and I have to reload the whole thing again.
With the help files on http://help.blogger.com it was easy to set up the blog.
Font and background colors can be modified, as well as font sizes.
For demonstration purposes, I selected the most possible awful color combination. I will change that later on back to acceptable.
But then I had a look at the blog, and I don't like the way it currently looks, I consider the side bar as too wide and the main page as too narrow.
I tried different templates, didn't like the ones with empty space on the left and right side of the screen, probably it ought to be this way.
As a next step I'm going to download html css code and see what can be adjusted there.
Once the template looks like I want it to look, comes maybe the most difficult part of blogging, writing good and relevant posts.
My first experience with the blog is, that:
Starting the blog and change basics lay outs is easy, you can have your blog up within an hour or so and start blogging.
I guess I still need to learn a lot about how to blog, I'll keep me updated in the next post.

Starting a new Blog
Being new to Blogger, I have to find out first how it works, before starting to publish the real content, I'll write later on, to this blog.
I'd some experience with Word Press, however I'm using this as a CMS, instead of a blog.
http://www.jepara.org
The coming days I'm going to post myself, how to setup the blog, for the moment I'm going to read the Blogger manual first.
If anyone has good avices, post them on this blog.
