I never even had the ambition to have followers, but it's nice when at least a couple people leave comments. I mainly do/did Idol recaps on mine but last year the season wasn't as exciting and I only knew of 1 person reading, so I quit. (Mine's named "PezKat's Becoming Less Empty Blog.") I thought about adding scrapping stuff but then got involved here & would only have a couple other people interested in seeing my pages, & one of those I see in person often enough, so I didn't do that either.
Blogspot is easy for posting and there are tons of predesigned templates (I'm sure there are lots of pink frilly ones w/Hello Kitty!). But it's not as user-friendly for photos just on its own, IMO. I've seen apps that scroll pages like a Gallery, so if you could add something like that then you'd be fine, but as I said I never put LO's on mine so I really don't know what's available for that. But if you just wanted to post one photo now & then & write stuff, I'd def. recommend Blogspot.
