There's Blogger, powered by Google. But I wouldn't call it better per se. Maybe different. You've got more freedom regarding the design of your blog.

(I'm running a personal this-and-that blog there, you can find the link in my profile, if you want to take a look. ^^)

I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.

What don't you like about Wordpress? (Pretty sad when you have to go back to a two short sentence post and edit it like I just did. lol.)

Meh, I'm mostly whining. What I want is to make the website work the way I want it to - none of them do that, lol. Right now I'm having problems on my serious blog getting pictures arranged like I want, and there are so many pages on my fanfiction blog that the page tabs cover up my header image so no one can see my name. But I'll probably stay with Wordpress just because I don't want to have to go learn another site.

Meanwhile I have a question about writing etiquette.
I found something on the Internet - I guess it's an essay - that was very inspirational, and it led me to write my own thing (another essay, I guess. I'm not always sure what to call these things, lol). I contacted the author, and he gave me permission to link back to his original essay in my own post.
I'm almost finished writing and hope to have it posted sometime this weekend. When it's done, should I contact the author and let him know? I don't want to seem like I'm asking him to read it or that I'm fishing for feedback, but it seems like it would be nice to at least send him a link. What's a polite way to say, "Here is what your words inspired me to write, but hey, no pressure, I'm not looking for anything in return"?

I would definitely send him a link with pretty much what you said here only cleaned up. Who doesn't like compliments - unless, of course, you completely disagreed with him and trashed everything he said. Maybe then, not so much.

If you wrote a blog that inspired someone, what would you want them to do?
