Are you thinking about blogging or about  switching to a different blogging platform?

Research

I’ve also added links at the end of this post to a variety of  Campus Crusade for Christ staff blogs, listed by blogging platforms, so you can see the different looks you could achieve.  Also notice the features in the sidebars.  Blogger and WordPress, for example, may differ in some of these additions you can make to your blog.
