Hello, All: <br>
<br>
<br>
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe anyone can
become a blogger almost instantaneously FOR FREE. <br>
<br>
<br>
I haven't tried it, but if you are interested, I suggest you
start by logging in to a gmail account from any web browser; if you
don't currently have a gmail account, you can get one for free.
Once logged in, look for "Blogger"; I just found it under "More" =
the left-most option in the black bar at the top of my gmail landing
page. (I also found it from "More" -> "Even more".) <br>
<br>
<br>
If you try it, please let me know how it works. I mention
this, because I heard Merriam and perhaps others say they might like
to blog. <br>
<br>
<br>
I'm currently starting to use "Google Sites". I just
redirected "effectivedefense.org" (which I registered over a year
ago but haven't used yet) to "<a
href="https://sites.google.com/site/effectivedefenseorg/">https://sites.google.com/site/effectivedefenseorg</a>".
I'm told there is a way to set this up so the URL that shows will
still be "effectivedefense.org" rather than the redirect "<a
href="https://sites.google.com/site/effectivedefenseorg/">https://sites.google.com/site/effectivedefenseorg</a>".
However, I haven't figured that out yet, and that's not a top
priority right now. <br>
<br>
<br>
Enjoy, <br>
Spencer <br>
