Posted on July 19, 2005

Today you can do much more with your blog than just blog. With tools like like Flickr bloggers can quickly create photo albums. Blogging tools like Blogger.com, Yahoo 360 and MSN Spaces have also made it easier for people to publish pictures in their weblog.

Try Free Vlog for information about making a vlog and FireAnt and Vlogdir for finding and watching vlogs.

But it doesn't end there. There are tools for adding comments and trackbacks like Haloscan and you can quickly add a links or a blogroll to your blog with Delicious. and Blogrolling. You can put ads in your blogs with AdBrite and AdSense. You can add results from ridiculous or unusual quizzes, like the What's Your Blog Personality quiz, to your blog with tools like blogthings.com. You can create buttons for your blog or create a Tag Cloud to show your blog's most popular keyword. You can turn your blog into a book. And, last but not least, Blog Herald reports that you can even feed your blog into outer space.
