Top 5 Reasons I <3 Squarespace (A Squarespace review)

  1. You can do a crap load of stuff on it. It offers services to make podcasts, you can have your own search engine, you can do a blog, a photo album, a links page, a plain old simple website page where you put whatever the heck you want. Basically I can start with a simple blog but expand into a fabulous website consisting of tons of different things.
  2. The designs are pretty and their simple. You have different color choices. Their easy to change. I wish they had more though, but their is a good number. I'm just really into customization.
  3. It's only $12 a month to get a blog with your own special pretty URL. (Plus the cost to register the URL which is generally a yearly fee). I always hated and I mean HATED the whole .blogspot.com or dot whatever that always came after blogs. It just made them seem generic. With squarespace they offer this domain mapping service, which I have to admit is a bit tricky to get working, but once you get it working it's fabulous!
  4. It's simple. I hardly had to rely on the Customer Support. Their were only a few questions I had and honestly if I had just been a little less lazy I could probably have figured it out.
  5. It's 10x better than the free services. Squarespace spoils me.

Top 10 Blog Prompts

I can't think of anything to blog about. So I decided to blog about what you can blog about. Hopefully this helps you with your brainstorming.

  1. Is there a moral duty to vote?
  2. Should their be mandatory prayer in school?
  3. What does an individual owe to his/her country?
  4. If you got to the end of the universe (space, existance, ect.) and you walked/ jet rocketed past it what would you find?
  5. What has your dog done recently that amuses you?
  6. Don't have a dog? Why don't you?
  7. How has the internet impacted your life, and the lives of those around you? Use specific examples of different services. (Ex: Facebook, twitter, myspace, dig, deviant art, ect.) How do you think these services have altered how people socialize? Overall, are these changes good or bad?
  8. Should people stop drinking bottled water? On one hand the plastics bad for the emviorment, but on the other the convenience of having it pre-bottled also encourages to make healthier choices compared to pop.
  9. Should people really go green? I mean, one person won't make much of a difference. Argue for or against that reasoning. What have you done to make yourself 'greener'?
  10. What are your favorite blogs and why? Write a review. Who's the author? What is their credentials? Are they funny? Smart? Stupid? Conservative? Liberal? Old?  (P.S. Extra points for writing about Quirk Life and how wonderfully helpful and amazingly awesome this blog is and how everyone should read it now... Maybe you could write about how you came up with the blog post and thank QL.)
