Kevin O’Keefe, one of the legal eagles at our last conference has posted about the new Blogger beta from Google. He says that it’s not professional enough for law firms.
I agree, and I’m prepared to go even further. Blogger is great for personal blogs. I used to use it for my personal blog long ago before I learned the joys of installing Wordpress on my own servers. But I would never, ever use it for any kind of professional blog.
Why? Because like every other hosted blogging service under the sun, the folks at blogger reserve the right to take down my blog anytime for any reason. It’s simply not worth the risk just to get a service for free.

This is especially true in an age where a domain costs $8 a year, and basic hosting costs $60 (or less). Not a very large investment.

There’s been plenty of stories over the years too of businesses actually having their sites shut down for odd, sometimes understandable, but mostly unreasonable reasons.
