Hi Mylotters out there, I've decided to make this discussion on blogging since some people misused it.The main purpose of blogging is to share information among others in the online community.But that particular information should be reliable and reasonable.Some of us make blogs to teach people about something or maybe just sharing something.Even I personally blog mostly about movies and computers tricks. Well,that are the positive parts of blogging.Wanna hear the negative ones? Within this week,I've observed some of my friends misused their blog to insult someone,either another individual,artist or political leaders.They're insulting,not criticizing,so mark the word there.I've given them some advice,and you know what they did?They insult me instead on their blogs! So,they expect me to do the same.Hell no,I'm not doing it.I won't do such immature things like that on the net.Instead,I did some research about other blogs as well.They're scandal blogs,potraying xxx pictures of celebrities,let's insult the government blogs and others. In my country,most of the people come from one race,and that is Malay.There are Chinese and Indians,as well as other minor races as well.To my surprise,some of the users blog about insulting other races as well as theirs?What's going on? So,what do you think about this,my fellow Mylotters?I know that Internet is a world wide phenomena but people should not misused it. Cheers.:(

Hey,I think you should be off with your own discussion on this topic of yours.But I would help you anyway.If you are a beginner in blogging,you're better off with blogspot.Learn few design tricks,as well as directing traffic to your blog.When you are experienced enough,you can move on to wordpress.But it doesn't matter much,depends on you.If you prefer wordpress,than it's fine.Besides,wordpress has lots of great themes.Compared to blogspot,you have to design your own since the built-in themes are not so nice.Happy blogging! And don't forget about mylot...:) Cheers..
