Blogger has really come a long way from when it was first offered. There are a number of new features that really help to make a blog look like a professional website. If you do a Google search for “Blogger Templates”, you will find some good sites that offer downloadable templates to really enhance your blog and completely disguise it as a free blog.
If you don’t have much experience with html or scripts etc., blogger seems to be the most user friendly. It’s very easy to add a page element and most of the features are “click and move”.
You can find large background files of Catholic-related images to use as the page background, you can add your own favicon, set up moderation for comments, add page elements such as links, social networking buttons and widgets etc…
I also find blogger to be the most compatible with Facebook and Twitter, so adding things from those sites is often just a matter of clicking a link and it automatically adds the element to your blog. You can even adjust settings so that your blog posts automatically show up on your facebook page as soon as you publish them.
So blogger is my program of choice and the one I recommend to anyone wanting to set up a blog.
