I also miss the protest songs and music of social consciousness that was so common at one time. I remember I used to listen to Nina Simone's version of Young, Gifted and Black.

I've never had Blogger prevent me from opening my account, but it just lacks the community feel that Wordpress has. Also, I've heard that sometimes Google does not promote its on blogger platform in search engine rankings. Meanwhile, wordpress is better with search engine optimization. And sometimes Blogger goes down for days at a time, preventing ppl from signing in. I saw a lot of angry bloggers write about losing money because of this. So yeah, I think Wordpress is the way to go.  less

When I come across blatant spelling errors and speak up, the first thing that happens from others perspective is instantaneous anger. From my standpoint, how can you take a writer seriously if he or she can't seem to grasp or get a decent handle on the English language? Another erroneous error I am seeing are those who put a question mark at the end of a (period) ending statement. Where in the world did that mess ever come from? Why is it that we have a (very) hard time with constructive criticism? No harm, no foul. This is just my *humble* opinion.    less
