Features
Below are a few features offered on Speak Life! blogs. No, we are not a high tech company in some high rise Buckhead office in Atlanta, GA. We are just a few guys and gals who want to give Christians an outlet to express themselves in a free open environment.
Come’on. Move on in!
It takes less than like…two seconds!
You can get a blog started in less time than it takes you to read this sentence. All you need is an email address and a name. You can blog as much as you want for free, your blog can be public to the world or private for just your friends. Heck we’ll even give you your own unique Speak Life! URL!
A Ton of Themes for your Blog!
You can change the look of your blog with over 100 attractive themes ranging from professional to fun to crazy, and you can switch themes instantly with just a click of a button. Each theme allows you to customize your sidebar using widgets, and several themes let you upload your own photo or image for the header bar. We add themes regularly based on user requests. If you’re a CSS pro, you can also customize your CSS code.
Categorize your Posts
Speak Life! blogs includes an easy system which allows you to categorize and tag your posts while you write them. We automatically create archives based on your categories and add them to our global tag system.
Spell-check, Previews, Autosave, Words, Photos, Videos
Spell Checking Our built-in rich text editor makes it easy to create great looking posts. You can upload your own photos or easily include images from other services like Flickr or Photobucket. You can even embed videos from places like YouTube or Google. To keep you from looking too silly, we include an inline spell-checker that makes it easy to proof your posts. We also have a preview feature that shows you exactly what your post or page will look like before you publish them for the world to see. Finally we know how frustrating it can be to lose hours of hard work, so every minute when you’re writing a post we save it to the server to keep your post safe in case your computer crashes or something else happens.
Lots of Privacy Options, including Members-Only Blogs
Login Form for Private Blog Speak Life! blog allows you to have a completely public blog, a blog which is public but not included in search engines or our public listings, or a private blog which only members can access. If you want a public blog, but only occasionally post something private, we have a per-post password option, too!
Manage Regular Pages, not Just Blog Posts
Page Management Speak Life! blog has a feature called “pages” which allows you to easily create web pages. For example, you could add an “about me” page with your biography, and a link to that page would be automatically added to your sidebar. You can even create an entire web site using pages on Speak Life! blogs, with a custom home page and your blog as one of the sub-pages.
Multiple Blogs and Multiple Authors
Add User You can have as many blogs as you want! You’re only limited by your imagination. You can have group blogs with multiple authors who are allowed to post or contribute. This is great for topic blogs for things like books or politics, or just a blog for you and your friends in one place.
Advertising
To support the service we may occasionally show Google text ads on your blog, however we do this very rarely. In the future you’ll be able to purchase an upgrade to either turn the ads off or show your own ads and make money from your blog.
