Well, library classmates, I'll be changing the profile information for myself. I was a little confused about what the assignment was... but I think I'm getting with the program.
It's funny because I've been working on developing a simultaneous blog/website (I'm not efficient like many of you probably are) that I'd like to develop during this class. Maybe some of you could help me with some ideas on the concept:
My background is in journalism (newspapers) and I am interested in starting a news/feature blog about my geographic community of the Central San Joaquin Valley in Fresno. I see it as a self-publishing venture, sort of like a mini online magazine where the information is presented as a blog, but then also packaged on the website. I was doing some reading and the website Online Journalism Review has some good resources.

I also found the site Blog Herald that is a great news source for bloggers (like serious, professional bloggers who discuss rankings and such), which is interesting reading for any of you with serious professional aspirations on blogging.

Well I know I am new to this and I may have a lot of posts but they aren't exactly topical. It's very hard to get with the program. I am trying to take it one day at a time.
Professional blogging ... now that is not something our parents would have aspired to do back in the day.
I like green and the monochromatic look, but I am not sure it is all visible enough.
Are you talking about having your own Content Management System? You can post your own stories, have comments on them, manage all sorts of content, do a lot of things. I don't know any CMS's as a service. You usually have to buy some hosting and register domain, then install some CMS.
Quick search in Google returned this result: http://www.everybodygoto.com/2007/07/23/5-online-cms-services-reviewed/
The reviewed services are not free though.
