Blogs are too complicated

Welcome to my site! I'm Lach Mullen, and I'm glad to see you here. Please feel free to click around, read what you will, check the "About Lach" page, and leave a comment or message. I'm so glad you're here! If you have any ideas of suggestions, let me know!

Blogs are hard to use. To date, blogs are for geeks like me, but not for normal people who just want to have an easy way to communicate with their friends. Herein lies the problem. I use Blogger (thanks Google) to make my blog. This way my website can have a iFrame on it (you’re looking at it) and the blog can be displayed inline, but I can update it from anywhere in the world.

What if I’m not at a computer? Use SMS? Right, the problem with blogger is it’s still FTP based, so I *can* post with my cellphone, but it won’t update until I’m in front of a computer to click a button. Why can’t a SMS message to straight to my webpage?

I am working on a project right now with a couple friends to re-invent a couple common things. One is blogs. The other is secret right now, but it will be great. The goal is to make it easy and non-geeky to have a blog (or blog-like page). I want my mom to have one. I want Caleb to have one. Check back in here later for more information, I hope to have it all up and running in a month or so.

here is the prohlem… i can be realy geeky sometimes but not even i have a blog… actually i do, but i hardly update it.

you need discipline to update blogs, you do not to be a geek to do it.

If you ask me, i do not think blogger is geeky.
