Start blogging in 5 minutes

16.12.2005 There is any amount of advice on blogging on the web and you can make it as complex as you like. But for the simplest solution, we would currently recommend going straight to Blogger.com

Not only can you get your blog online in a very few minutes, you will also find it very easy to update it. Even adding pictures has now become easy to do, if you have a reasonable connection. Blogging is easy and fun - but it can be addictive.

There are plenty of more powerful systems with very attractive features, but most depend on installing software and having acccess to server space to which you upload your postings. This is quite a good starting point for further advice.

As soon as you are underway and you would like us to feature the best of your postings on this site, please email us at:
carboncountdown@oneworld.net.
We just need to know the url of your blog. And make sure you have set the RSS or Atom feed feature in the software you are using.

If you'd also like to tell us more about yourself that will be good for the future when we hope to build the sense of community among those sharing our experiences of new ways of living.

India needs to regain climate credibility

India’s response to climate change has been paltry, half-hearted and directed at preserving existing elite lifestyles. Its credibility in international negotiations will only be restored if it takes urgent measures to reduce domestic energy use, says Praful Bidwai.
