Blogspot instead of Google+

[EaglePrince 230]

Hi, I wanted to suggest that we may use Blogspot instead of Google+ for our announcements, or for, say, our backup.

The good sides about it is that is easily customizable, it can be done in a way that it can resemble to this website; one can subscribe to Blogspot website, so he/she would receive an email notification each time one of administrators makes a new post there. A already have a Blogspot website, so I have some experience with it. Also, it is Google's service just like Google+.

Also, many people avoid to have Google+.

 

I'm not saying that Google+ is not good enough and that we need to go to Blogspot, I am only showing another option. :)

The convenient thing about Google + for me, is that it's connected directly to my personal email, and I'm always logged into that so I don't have to re-log in to post anything (the laziness of it :D )

 

There will be a couple of days toward the end of the month where we will need to use something, I'll see how that goes and change depending on how easy it goes with passing on info - don't forget we have a Facebook account also though.

In fact, Blogspot works in similar way as Google+. It is one of Google's services, and if you are logged into your Gmail account, if you visit http://www.blogger.com, you will log in automatically.

 

I do know about facebook page, but still, if someone wants to follow us on facebook he needs to have a facebook account. Website on blogspot is a blog, and one doesn't need to register anywhere to follow it. He would only need an email account. :) I am sending you my blogspot website, so you could see how it can look like. :)

So, I had played a little with blogspot, and this is what I've done so far.

I hope you'll like it. This way each would be able to enter his email address (which doesn't have to be a gmail account, or doesn't have to be related to google+). Each time a moderator/administrator posts a new article there, you would get an email notification.

 

Also, it has the most important links to Stronghold Nation website, the Blog page, and the About Us (Stronghold Nation) page.

 

If you have any suggestions, feel free to tell.
