[MsSaku]

I'm using Yam.com.
It's a chinese site. BUt so far, i love it. It's simple and you can add friends. You can see who views your profile, who promote your blog and you can promote other's blog by pressing on a thumbs up button. There is an album to keep your pictures.

I have tried others. But stuck to yam.

blogspot: to many ppl using. And i dun. hahaz. wad a childish reason.
wordpress: my wordpress gave me problems. I have to manually type in html codes. and when i wan to edit the entry, all my html codes disappear. SO i have to manually retype them in. So troublesome.
LJ: I dunno how to use. hahaha. Too many functions. Lost. Hahaha.

(i still have no figure how to add friends in yam.com.someone with that help me?)

[AAsama]

I see...

I am using blogger, I think its ok, somehow used to it and its codes and findings...

I also use MSN spaces, gives me alot things to add ons, and easy access with my coms, but you cant coustomize it, thats the problem

I tried xanga, but dun really understand it function, but I heard that word press not bad, maybe some other times...

[dustflower]

blogspot is not bad, i've seen alot of ppl using it to promote cca and sell thing as well

[coldkohmew]

As long it suits me i will use it =)

[dustflower]

normally ppl using blogspot, as what i said previously
but sometimes really depends on the purpose of blogging

[jan]

Blogger... I use to have Multiply, windowslive, livejournal... But its just something about blogger that im comfortable with.. =)
And I admit, I like to edit layouts that were made differently... Like, take the background and mix with other stuffs.... I do credit them though..

[WoShiKengWee]

Using blogspot/blogger
I took quite a long time to figure out how the template works in blogger so before that I was using MSN live space, its easy to use but bad thing is you can't customize to you own liking.

[mayi]

using blogger.. haha~ simple la.. the html easier to write too..

[WoShiKengWee]

yeap. now its quite understandable for me already.
didn't try other platforms. haha just stay with blogger ba, make my life bit easier. XD

[lalabird.]

blogger is good =D

[coldkohmew]

Who create blogskins here?

[perfect_mind]

I prefer blogspot for my own personal blog as it is more simple..

But would use wordpress for like erm, clubs cause it will look more organised with all the pages and side bars..

Blogspot also quite easy to use...no need so complicated stuff..

[Prh19]

I use my own hosting, hahax....but wordpress as the system for my blog, i design website by myself, but not for blog.

[coldkohmew]

how to design blog?

[Prh19]

Via Html.....unlkess you have a hosting your own, then you can use Java script, Actionscrtip, swf, PHP..and lots more...xml...

[Jaydenial]

from what i know, you can use javascript for blogger as well.

for example, disabling right click.

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
//Disable right click script
var message="";
///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
function clickNS(e) {if
(document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
if (document.layers)
{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document. onmousedown=clickNS;}
else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontext menu=clickIE;}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
// -->
</SCRIPT>

is this right prh? cause you seem like a good coder to me.
anyway i tried livejournal and i must say the loading time for livejournals are awfully long!
its not always long but its like 80% of the time.. so im sticking to blogger for the simplicity.

[Prh19]

Yea exactly Hahn...blogger can use Javascript as well, that because the tag call upon the script code type ...eg <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">, this tag tells the computer that read this below line as javascript...^^

What good about Blogger is that it gives you a black page to fully edit your blog layout, unlike wordpress, wordpress uses .php and .JS (aka JavaScript). Blogger uses XML and XHTML and HTML...

XHTML and HTML is somehow the same, just that XHTML is more sensitive than HTML, as every opening tag needs and End tag...this cause me to hate XHTTML more...XD

kk..back to blogger, you will always see this tag...<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> just like java tag, you are calling computer to read it as XML format...Theres is other format you can call..<SCRIPT language="css">..

I cant say everything here, if not blogger will cry to death...cause too complicated....XD

blogger definitely is the fastest, because of Google, that other website can't fight with..

for the "Disable right click script", actually can easily be decoded by this script below
javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)

To add on what mz has mention,for me currently I have just started to use blogger,I have wordpress but I have heard livejournal and msn space,but did not sign up for that,thanks 4 the info u have provided :)

[perfect_mind]

actually..blogger easy to post.

Wordpress easy to customise..the rest i have yet to actually try it out

[coldkohmew]

But its complicating when i have to comment in another platform,i need to sign up :(

[Jayzip]

I second that.. but to customize you need lot of knowledge in coding :(

[animaniaboy23]

I second that.. but to customize you need lot of knowledge in coding :(

I see sometimes u need to know how to apply the coding they have given to U and add in,for me I have wordpress and blogger currently :),as for blogskin I still have problems in replacing my current one even though I have changed the template html :(

[perfect_mind]

There come a problem with blogger new system that require stricter XHTML i think? No idea, yeah, but it is stricter than before making self taught blog skinner(who arent good in html) in a frenzy. Till now, the majority of them still use html without attempt to move on to the new format. No idea why though. but for people who have learned HTML, migrating to the new format is simple just a hassle.

wordpress is complicated in the sense that you have to customise EVERYTHING if you want your own theme. However, they have their theme packages making it easy to change your look without losing any of your settings unlike blogger, once you changed, you have to re-edit all your cbox and stuff like that.
