It has been some time that I have been wanting to write my own weblogs. I am actually surprised with myself that an avid surfer like me took a really long time to find out about some thing called the internet blogging community. The first ever blog the I got to read was Kamat's Anthoblogy where Vikas Kamat of kamat.com writes about web technologies and Indian culture.(What a contrasting combination). Then it was Madhu menon's weblog, for which I saw a link from Kamat's blog. For a long time, I was always under the impression that these weblog writers must be web professionals who probably have some sophisticated tools and host their own websites so that they are able to present their blogs in a very beautiful way. However, when I saw that kamt's blog and Madhu Menon's weblog had similar interfaces, I decided to take a better peek into this and figured out that there are free blogging softwares in the web which can help you in the presentation part(and even hosting). Google, as usual was always at service and helped me find what I wanted. I am impressed by the tool that people at blogger have built. But I am not sure how long they can sustain their services for free .
