so you want to start a blog?...

have you wondered whether you should start a blog? there are plenty of options out there to do so. i have blogged with typepad for several years and really like them. it's partly about what you know of course. you pay for typepad while some other providers are free. typepad have given me a code for one person to start a plus level blog - the code will pay the fee for one year - i.e. you get a year's free blogging. that's a pretty sweet deal...

if you want to move beyond status updates and tweets and actually have some content ;-) then leave me a comment to say why i should give the code to you. the last person i gave a free year of blogging to managed one post which was a little disappointing to say the least so i'm looking for a bit more than good intentions!

is it ok to nominate people?

often the people who don't blog should ... witty erudite comment is just as good written down as it is spoken out loud for the ears of a few

i think Dave Perry should write a blog he would be funny and can even lapse into french when he wants and plays guitar very well ... send it to him like a readers digest letter ... you have been selected :)

tell you what ... if he says yes i will stop blogging ... now that has to be worth making the effort

Putain! Not entirely sure if I've got enough to say, or enough people who want to listen. And I definitely wouldn't do it just to stop Steve. There's room in cyberspace for all of us to play nicely. But I will think on 't.

Dave Perry would be excellent - one of the brightest and most creative people I know, and funny, literate and bi-lingual too... c'mon Dave.

Dave Perry for blogger!

I would really value a free blog and would blog at least daily without fail.
I would blog about Christian issues but also how Mental Health and God mix ( I have Bi- polar).
Your free code wouls not be wasted.

I'd love to have a blog that is a little more customizable. I blog fairly regularly at the moment, though content is variable... I'm getting kind of sick of my options on blogger though and would love to take blogging to a new level!

I've been blogging a few years. Usually post a few times a week, at least once. My content almost always tends to be about theology, culture, emerging church, church stuff, etc.

I'm tired of blogger and love the look and feel of your blog. Not sure I exactly want this, b/c I'd take up payments after the year, so if I'm in the running, I'd need to know how much it costs/year.

Also, would I be able to switch my current blog and posts from blogger?

Jonny - my two cents is to think about whose voice is not in the conversation but needs to be based. And be sure obviously that they have the time, interest, inclination to at least post something periodically. Any people with Proost who aren't blogging? All the material I've read from those contributors really moves me.

Hi Jonny

If it's still open I would like to put down my 'application'. My interests are fairly varied but my theology usually impinges on the posts I do whether it's music, economics or London underground

Jonny - meant to say "needs to be heard" - no clue where based came from.
