Start your own Blogger Blog
Introduction
Blogging, short for Web Logging, is the term used for something as simple as maintaining a diary or journal online. For those not in the habit of maintaining a diary, a blog is a place to jot down thoughts. It can be a record of events that can make an interesting read a few years down the line. It can be something as mundane as a daily work schedule, or it can be something as interesting as a daily record of events A Blog can be personal a single person’s notes or communal, where a group of individuals contribute, like members of an organization. Blogs can offer a glimpse into the life of a person; they can be informative; they can be the ramblings of a like-minded soul; they can be all about what someone has found interesting online; in fact, they can be a lot of things, and there are as many reasons to read blogs as there are to maintain one. Given the ease with which a blog can be created online—there are free tools to create and host them—it is easy to understand the popularity they have attained. Blogger is Google’s response to the popular need to blog. While Blogger is the tool used to create blogs, the blogs themselves are hosted at blogspot.com.Blogger is the result of Google’s acquisition of Pyra Labs, the creators of Blogger a Web logging tool, and Blogspot a Web log host.

Free Wordpress MU .EDU Part 2
March 20th, 2008
Well it seems i may be falling at the first hurdle. I have made a few unique posts to my new free .EDU blog and also done a small amount of social bookmarking a linking with quality sites of the same niche. BUT…..
It still has NOT been indexed by any of the main search engines and get zero traffic!! There are numerous (100+) other blogs indexed in google some with a small PR rating too.
It has only now been 3 weeks i suppose so plenty of time yet, but with many new domains google has been indexing them all within 3-4 days at most. Maybe that is me getting lucky sometime as i keep reading horror stories, but i had hoped this blog would at least be indexed by now.
I will keep all readers informed over the next few days and see if it gets indexed then hopefully the incoming links will increase the PR. But that could be well over 12 months plus at this rate.!!
