Here's a not blog-looking site we just launched, http://www.spcycling.org. Let me know if you find any errors. No, not like your website, like your blog….which is appropriately blog-looking.

I hate that too... and yet I do it. I want to change my site but I guess I just have to do it. And the images... what can I do to make the images white images work. IT was nice seeing you. I like the modular house idea. Abi You mean like my web site?

I just think that the free Blog sites have offered something that wasn't available online...the opportunity to publish online without having any website building knowledge. My wish is for tools that offer the ease of posting content offered by say, www.blogger.com, but the ability to offer design creativity that would allow so many websites not to look nearly identical. Maybe I am asking for a modular house that doesn't look like the rest of the neighborhood!? Have a great weekend! :-) cw Thanks, Cathy for the explanation…I agree with a desire to look at sites that look and feel different and exciting.

It does make for an easy content management system and WordPress has many skins to choose from and can be customized pretty easily. Other sites that aren't built on a blog backend look like they are. That may be more common because CMS/templating engines like Smarty and CakePHP have become increasingly popular. There are some very nice skin designs. I am just tired of the same header/sidebars layout.

Thanks for the links to the "Usual Places"...it's a start for me. Could you elaborate more on what you mean by 'organizations dumping content into a Blog CMS'? I'm not sure I follow. :-) cw Cathy,
