Blog Business Summit comments from Molly Holzschlag and DL Byron's session on Picking a Platform: Blogging Engines Compared.
Molly came in with a great opening about blogging tools and how you should consider them. Hosted servers are up first. DL Byron covered Blogger with Blogspot (apparently he has a really old account he forgot about) and TypePad (just created the account and blog in about 10 minutes). And with that the floods of questions came in. Pretty much spent the rest of the presentation on that slide and answering questions from the audience. Finally moving on to WordPress, Movable Type and other non-hosted solutions. The actual user doesn't care what tools you use on your site or blog, it's just part of the technology.
I think that even tho they got stuck on that slide, I think the audience got the most out of this session. There was a lot of great questions and a lot of good introduction questions like "what is staging?" and "does Blogger support feeds?" I think the best way you can learn about a tool is by kicking the tires.
Comments
Sounds interesting, but just what is "stagging"? Google is not much help or could they have meant "staging" as in dev, test and production server staging?
Yes, it was a typo. Sorry they only give me 15 minutes between sessions to take my notes, put them through the textisim tool and then put the content in my CMS, mark it up and post it. Typos are bound to happen.
Of course, I was being genuine. Thanks for writing these notes down, it is appreciated.
