The set up process with blogger was a doddle. I lately bemoaned the lack of much development of the Blogger platform in some senses this is a Godsend. My sessions notes on setting up are just as current now as they were two years ago and you can't say that for the other platforms. The Typography and styling is not as slick as Wordpress or Tumblr but it is a good solid platform.
So, here I am blogging in Blogger. With all the platforms I'm removing all but the blog i.e. pages etc and I've found the simplest skin/theme that I can to concentrate largely on the blogging. This one is called SIMPLE and I made a few minor tweaks to it. I posted a "sticky" to put the overview posting at the top but the way to that is quite convoluted. I first published the post and then I edited it and set it to publish in the future. This makes it sticky until that date. If I had not published it first then it would be a scheduled post and not actually appear until that date. I have set Wordpress to also trigger out to Facebook and Twitter as Wordpress does that so well but I will explore this with the other platforms to see if they can do this too. I have hooked Blogger to also post out to Google + because, being a Google product it does this rather well.
