How many of you have a blog? How many followers do you have? Do you have to pay for it or is it free? Is it better than you a regular website page. Please educate me as I have no idea about a blogging.

I have a blog with blogspot. It's through google (you can use a gmail account) and fairly easy to use and free. I have found that many cake designers have a blog.
This is what i put on my business cards so people know how to contact me and where they can follow my cakes week to week. I just started it so I'm still learning myself.

Hi, I've got one as well. Started it few weeks back and haven't done much yet. Here is the link of you like to see it,

I do! It has desserts, cookies, and a few other things that I've done. I have kept my cakes seperate from it, for the most part, and have those on a simple photo gallery on another site.

I have a blog, it´s free and easy. I started last month because my friends wanted to see my work. I don´t make so many cakes, so I have it for other hobbies too.

You'll blogs are so nice. Thanks for sharing. I will look into starting my own.

A blog is fun to highlight one cake or project at a time. And you usually have to add in some interesting text with it too, like instructions or a story. If you need space for a lot of content that is consistently and easily available to the user than a website is better. A website isn't quiet as easy to change and update several times a week like a blog is. A blog is also fun because of the instant feedback you can get from posted comments.
I have a website because I have so many links and content that I needed the website format. www.distinctivecakes.com
I hope this helps.

I have a blog, but it's nothing to do with cakes. I mention them, but that's it! Come visit me at www.yukonmom.blogspot.com. I don't pay anything, and lately I've totally neglected my blog. I need to get back into it!

Nicole, thank you for posting your blog! I had been to your blog awhile back and loved it and then couldn't get there again (I have a bad memory!)

I did it! I started my own blog! It's meant to be a companion to my website. It's been a lot of fun getting it started and creating it. Very soon I'm going to do a really cool giveaway so keep checking in to cake2cake!

Hi,

I recently created this blog, http://theworldsgreatestcake.blogspot.com/ and I hope you can give me some positive feedback!

Thanks..

I do! http://www.butterflysweets.blogspot.com/ I love having a blog-it is so much fun.

Me! Me! Me! I just started it yesterday! Too many people were pressuring me to "you gotta write all of this stuff down!" so it's a place to collect my thoughts and wedding ideas/tips/suggestions.

SJ169 - You can search for 'free templates for blogger', and get TONS of results. I got mine from www.deluxetemplates.net

I've got two, one through blogger that chronicles my cross-continent move, and one my son made for me where I keep my cake tutorials. www.cakedalaska.com

I don't mind having my blog linked to, but I do mind having content copied from it. Linking is great, though!

^^ Ditto

Well I'm just going to shamelessly promote my student Jane's blog: http://www.janessweets.blogspot.com/ She took several classes from me a couple years ago and some private lessons on top of that and the bug bit her -- she's now going to a culinary program at a local school and has started her own blog. I'm soooo proud of her!!

oh definitely not gonna copy your entries, just gonna link you so mine doesn't look deserted. lol
