"The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack.

If any of you are interested in having a free blog, and want to try something besides blogspot or Wordpress, and if you don't want to have to manage the technical aspects of a blog, such as uploading code and setting up a database, you should check out the Bloo Community.
I'm launching it today. It's a site where you can request your own Bloo Blog. Once your request is received, I'll activate a blog for you (takes me just a few seconds, unless I'm at work or sleeping or something). Once your blog is activated, it's yours: a full-blown Bloo blog, all your own. Free. Easy. And upgraded with new themes and features as often as they can be rolled out.
Anyone interested in trying it out? Click here.

Will there be a directory of Bloo Community blogs once it gets established?
Bloo Community rocks!

will there be easier blog names? instead of http://bloocommunity.com/members/fredsblog having just http://fredsblog.bloo.com

Lauren - great question.
Eventually, yes. I just haven't gotten there yet. It's a matter of some setup for each blog. Doable.
Yes, Bird, there will be a directory (provided anyone joins up :-)

Awww man. I was hoping to be first. Oh, well, you snooze you lose. :)

Practical question, from someone who only knows the front side of his blog (the one that makes a picture), not the back side with all the loose threads hanging out: are you talking moving whole blogs from other platforms to Bloo, and if so, what all would be involved in that?

Great question - I've done it before with WordPress, and can conceivably do it with any blog software, provided I have a good db export. But it's not automated or anything yet.
