"openSUSE Linux Unleashed"

Blogger blogs run the gamut of styles, but lean toward the personal-journal end of
the spectrum.
There are three ways to post. The web-based interface and using email are the standard
ways; you can also create an audio-post via telephone.
LiveJournal (www.livejournal.com)
LiveJournal started as a way for a group of friends to keep each other posted on their
lives. It grew into a large, but still by-invitation-only, community of all kinds of journalkeepers.
Now owned by Six Apart, the Movable Type company, anyone can get a
LiveJournal account and start blogging.
LiveJournals are best known for their mood-indicator and other colorful graphics and lists
of connections between users. The LiveJournal code is open source software (visit
www.livejournal.org to contact the development team or download the source).
You can post via the web interface or use one of several Linux clients (Kluje for KDE,
Logjam and Drivel for GNOME). They also have clients for personal digital assistants
(Palm and PocketPC) and cell phones.
Typepad
As mentioned earlier, Typepad is the hosting service from Movable Type??™s developers.
