It offers free wordpress blog hosting and has a lot better usability than blogger. Meaning that if you get yourself a troll you can actually ban them by IP/username/email (if the mood struck) and the themes are a lot more interesting. If someone signs up for a wordpress account then to comment on other wordpress blogs they don't have to keep signing their name. Also, wordpress allows you to make some posts private so that you can converse among yourselves without having to hear from the peanut gallery.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's just a thought. If you're curious, shoot me an email and I'll let you behind the scenes at my other spot.JennyJinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15465402454146317920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732936190877043335.post-17673143894695870932007-03-24T10:28:00.000-04:002007-03-24T10:28:00.000-04:00Swimmer, you most definitely can participate if/wh...Swimmer, you most definitely can participate if/when you choose!

And speaking for myself, I just couldn't pull off every two weeks, what with the family and all. One thing about this blog is, I definitely see it as a place where we can talk about movies, any movie, any time. So if someone goes to see one and wants to post a review, do it, or whatever. The structured viewing and discussion would take place monthly, but in between, you know we'll get chatty 'bout films. <BR/><BR/>Regarding the first film, I put a poll over on the side bar!
