CAY Blog

Postby Mrs.Claus » Wed Apr 16, 2008 11:04 pm

We're working at making Christmas All Year a total package (what I like to call CAY World ;)). So one of the steps is creating a blog:

http://christmasallyear.org/blog/

We would greatly appreciate your comments and suggestions. What types of things would you like to see in a blog? Do you think a blog is a good or not-so-good idea? Remember this is our community and your opinion really does count.

Thanks so much. :smilecc:

I think something along the lines of a Holiday planning tool would be good - similar to the holiday grand plan, but make it our own.

Yep - I like Wordpress just a little bit better than Blogger (my webhosting supports Wordpress :wink: ). I think they are both great products.

Hmmmmm.....its not working. I keep getting error messages. What I'm trying to do is subscribe to the blog by adding it to my iGoogle pages. Perhaps I can't do it with this particular blog. :holly1:

Not sure if Wordpress works with google (blogger is in the google family, though). I will look into it and see what can be done. It gives you a dropdown list and Google is in the list, but I don't see igoogle. When I click Subscribe (to the google) I get the choice of Add to Google Homepage or Add to Google Reader. Hmm not sure how to get this to work - will keep looking and see what I can find.
