Blogger is a really easy to use platform for blogging. The customization capabilities are actually not bad for such a basic system. I enjoy the template editor. The Post editor is also easy to use.
Blogs I Found:
Coding Horror http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/
This is the blog of software developer and co-founder of StackOverflow Jeff Atwood. He gives his own personal feelings and opinions of technology and programming topics which are intriguing. The fun thing about him, is that he is also willing to admit he is wrong. He will often edit posts with new information if he is challenged by his readers. This is a really great blog for me as I am growing software developer and its great to hear what more experienced developers are thinking about.
Volpin Props http://volpinprops.blogspot.com/
I found this blog through another blog actually. This is the blog of a professional prop maker. He specializes in movie, TV and video game replica props. In his blog he gives a build log of the props he is working on. It is very fun to watch how props are designed and made.
Case Mod Blog http://www.mnpctech.com/casemodblog/
This is the blog of Bill Owen, the owner of a company that makes super professional computer case mods. He uses his background in making custom cars in order to make these great cases. I am PC enthusiast and have done my own case mods, so it is always great to see what the pros are doing.
Blogging in Society
This is a long debated subject, but I believe that blogging is finally finding its niche in our media world. Blogging is not journalism and journalism is not blogging. Blogging is the subjective personal opinion of its owner. If this idea is respected, blogs have a place when it comes to the media we consume. It allows for its author to express their opinions with the readers understanding that it is just the authors opinion. A few years ago this was heavily debated because many bloggers wanted the respect of journalists. Journalists do a lot more research and fact checking for the most part and that is what sets them apart from bloggers.
