Blogger

A website that allows people to make and maintain a blog is blogger. Blogger is a service provided by Google

This video shows how it is possible to change what features appear in a blog. These include a label list. This shows the labels that have been given to blogs. This is useful as it groups similar blogs together and makes it quicker and easier to find a post about a certain subject. Another useful feature is the blog archive. This lists all the blogs that have been published in date order. This is useful to either find a specific post or to find all posts that were uploaded in a given amount of time. The labels on blogs also make it useful for the author of the blog to find a specific post. This can be because the author wants to modify said post. Blogger also enables the author to either publish a post immediately or save it as a draft to finish working on it later. This means that the author does not have to finish the post in one go and add changes to it later.
The main disadvantage with blogger is that while it shows the posts in date order it does not put modified posts on the top of the list. This is problematic because it means that if the author changes something in a post that was created a while ago very few people will be aware of these changes.

Blogger also has a feature which enables the author to change what the blog looks like. This means that the blogs can look more professional. Also, dyslexics often find it easier to read something that has a black background and white text as opposed to the conventional white background with black text.
