I'm looking into starting a blog, and I've heard really good things about both WordPress and Blogger. This will be my first time doing a blog, and I've heard that Blogger is better for first-time bloggers, but I want to make sure that I know all of my options. I want something that's free, and that won't require me to spend hours trying to figure out how to use it. I also want something that will let me customize the design of my blog. I don't know if either site requires it, but I do know a bit of CSS and HTML, although I'd rather not have to use those! Also, do either of these sites make your blogs completely open to the public? This is something I'll want only family and close friends to see, and I don't want random people stumbling across my blog and reading my thoughts. However, not all of my family/friends have blogs, so I want them to be able to read it without having to sign up and create a blog themselves. If you use either one of these sites (or both), I'd love to know what you like and dislike about the one you use. If you use something else entirely, feel free to tell me about that, too!

End of NaNo...

Well, NaNoWriMo is over for the year! In some ways, I'm so thankful I'm through with trying to pack in a bunch of words every day, but in other ways, I'm going to miss it. I had a lot of motivation for writing this month and I've accomplished more in 30 days than I have in the past year. And yes, I did complete the goal - I came out with 50,010 words! :dance: Sadly, my story's still not over, but hopefully I'll complete it within the next month.

On to finishing and editing....

Well, I've managed to last two years here, and I have to say that all of the wonderful people on this site and their work have been such an amazing gift to have. I can't count all of the times I've found just the right story or picture to brighten my day, or how many times I've come across an artist or writer who has inspired me to improve.  :dalove:

On a different note, NaNoWriMo is just around the corner! As in tomorrow!! :eager: Part of me still thinks I'm crazy for trying to write 50,000 words in one month and trying to handle school and a job on top of that, but writing is definitely worth the extra stress! And this year, I've decided to put my own little twist on the event. Instead of trying to start and finish a 50,000 word novel, my goal will be to write 50,000 words among all of my still unfinished stories. I have two novels and three short stories that I've shoved into a dusty corner for far too long, and I'm determined to spread those 50,000 words around and actually get some of these things finished! Hopefully this year will go better than last year's attempt! Wish me luck!

....since I joined DA! I'm glad I stuck with it this long! It's been quite an adventure - I've gotten some great feedback, met some wonderful people, and learned to love art even more. Thanks to everyone who has helped and supported me along the way!

On a different note, is anyone doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this November? I've decided to give it a try this year. I don't know if my schedule will allow me to fit extra writing in, but I'm determined to at least attempt to complete it!

~First of all, I have no problem with you saving my images to your computer just because you like them and want to have them somewhere where you can look at them. :) The exception to this is my logo - I don't allow anyone to copy/save it for any reason.

~You are not allowed to post them anywhere, even though you may not claim them as your own. However, if you want to use them in some way like in a slideshow to a song and put it on Youtube, you may do so after obtaining my permission. If you want to use it with music for your own enjoyment(without putting it online anywhere), you may do so without asking my permission. Again, don't copy the logo.

~You are not allowed to edit my images and claim them as your own. Although if you wish to color one of my pencil drawings, you may, as long as you credit me and send me the link to what you did. Also, if you want to use one of my photos in one of your own creations, ask me and I'll let you know if you can use it.

~Please, please, please do not use anything I've written in any way! My written works mean a lot to me!
