anybody have a blog? i need suggestions for the easiest route to go. I'd like to set one up with my own domain name, but that seems like work to me, so i think i'd just prefer to go the freebee web based method.

My Blog

The only one I really have experience with is blogger.com. It's pretty easy and is becoming more customizable every day it seems. You also have the option, if you decide to buy a domain name of your own in the future, to purchase from somewhere like godaddy.com and have that name point to your blogger blog.

Well you can easily install a blog on your domain such as WordPress, which is free, easy to modify, has a lot of free third-party addons and layouts.

Some hosts have it even ready for you to press one button and it installs itself automatically.

Other than wordpress, you can also use Joomla, which is also free.

hmmm, do people have to join up just to leave a comment for that one?

I'm assuming you mean does someone have to join blogger in order to post comments? I don't know for sure, but if so, it's not such a bad idea. You'll find if/when you get a blog, if you allow for "anonymous" comments, you'll get a lot of spam from bots and the like who are either not real people or aren't looking to comment on your specific post. They are just looking to spam their product or website. So to require a signup process at the very least ensures the potential poster is a real person.

I use Bluehost and Drupal to blog.

I've used Joomla and much prefer Drupal.

Wordpress has some nice looking templates, but I can just make a similar theme in Drupal.

Of course, there is a steeper learning curve, but it is very powerful (taxonomy) and has much right out of the box.

    • It's really hard to argue against the Tiger Woods 2000 swing.  I like Rory's swing. And, I've always liked Joaquin Niemann's swing. Although, if I tried to mimic Niemann's swing I'd probably end up in traction for 2 months. I was kinda bummed when he went to LIV cuz I almost never see it anymore.  At the other extreme, I can't look at Bryson when he plays. Even if it's very effective, it's coyote-ugly to watch.  I'd rather watch Charles Barkley than Bryson. ....  
    • Thank you for that information,I would have loved to see him in person
    • I think he was always kind of like that - he hit it off the planet relatively frequently throughout his career. I saw him play a couple of times. One time at Walton Heath in the European Open. He was playing the 13th on the Old (dogleg right par 5) and his drive had gone through the fairway and found a patch of grass in the woods there to the left (the woods have now gone). He had an opening to play back to the fairway. Maybe 25 yards to reach the fairway and 65 yards to run through the other side. He was maybe 230 yards away from the green, but the trees made sure that was not a viable option (at least that's what I thought at the time). He pulled out a pretty long iron - probably a 3 and gave it a full blooded thrash. I watched this ball come out straight for about 40 yards and then it just turned hard left, but stayed in the air (still not sure how he did that). He started the ball at a point that must have been 100 yards right of the green and hooked it basically that whole 100 yards and the ball wound up on the front of the green.  Shotmaking he was pretty much peerless. Not sure his swing was ever technically solid. Flowing and fun to watch yes, but not one you'd want to copy.  As to the question, I have heard a few people suggest that Mickey Wright had the best swing ever. Frank Nobilo had a pretty sweet looking one. Bruce Lietzke's was pretty cool - he managed to maintain PGA Tour playing rights with basically little to no work on his game - got to be a lot said for that.
    • A lot of us on this forum are hyper competitive, we just know not to break things that don't belong to us! that is why I stated "a person with a poor attitude grows up with no consequences" it is not all entitlement.
    • Yea, it is a cult following. Especially with the YouTube golf personalities using them. They did great marketing in a space that not many other golf clubs are getting into yet. Especially for putters.  I tried them out at Golf Galaxy before; I can't stand them look of them.
