Blog, yeah I have one (this is it, funnily enough)

Hi any readers out there in internet land,
I am writing this blog for a university assignment, so I will be blogging about some of the things I have learned in the class Networked Media, conveniently enough the class this blog is being written for.
So, I think it would be a good idea to start off by explaining why I chose this blogging platform; Blogger. And the fact of the matter is that because Typepad requires payment, which I can not provide at the moment and Wordpress was down all over the world when I was in my tutorial choosing my blog platform, Blogger was the most 'flexible' one easily available to me. This is a bit disappointing as Wordpress would enable me to be more profound than Blogger, which for the use I am making of this blog would have been good because without trying to suck up to and flatter my lecturer and tutor too much, my lectures and tutorial have been more on the profound side of things than the trivial. Despite this Blogger should not constrain me to much as in my lecture on blogs we were shown the effective use of Blogger by Geoff Manaugh. His Blog is BldBlog, and it is now how he earns a living not by advertising like a lot of other professional bloggers but just by people finding his blogging of such great quality that they want him to come and speak at their conferences, and will pay him to do it.
So all is not lost for me yet, I'll just need to use my imagination to get around the constraints of Blogger.
That is all for now as it is time for me to go to sleep so I can keep jumping over candle sticks with my normal nimble and quickness.
