What did your blog visitors see when they first arrived on your blog? Are they looking for the things you write? Or the photos you've taken? Or the music you have made?

With the iloveblog's Default Page settings, you can define your home page. Simply go to DashBoard, under Account Settings -> Change Default Page. You will have the options to choose any photo albums, music albums or even your personal profile to be appear in the home page when your visitors type in yourblog.iloveblog.com.

How many of you have accounts at social community websites like Friendster, Multiply and MySpace? What about having a personal photo gallery at Flickr, TwentyThree and FotoThing? And social bookmarking at Del.icio.us, video at YouTube?

Easy? Yup. That's what iloveblog blogging platform meant for. 

In this post, I would like to highlight few bloggers of iloveblog.com that I came across. 

The first one is Neverending Journey. The blog covers lots of thing from Celebrity Buzz to All England Badminton Championship to personal stuff. The more you read, the more you get to know the blogger's hidden personalities, as it claimed in the blog:

"Those who do not know me will think that I'm quiet. But, that's not so true. You have to know me well then you will know my hidden personalities." 

The next blog is from the P.Residen. So what is P.Residen? It has no direct meaning with the word 'President' but instead, it means 'Pulau Resident' (Pulau as Island in Malay Language). The blog is written in Tri-Language ( English + Malay + Mandarin ), which is a rarity in the blogsphere. He shares many personal stuff, especially on his going-to-born baby. Congratulation on that, President! Ops, I mean Pulau Residen. Anyway, here's a quote on what he's going to do with a Police Summon he recently received:

"..So i think i am not going to pay them right now, until i siok… " 

The last blog I'm going to cover is G-Virus.  It is written by a guy named Gaveen (knew it from the URL of the blog: gaveen.iloveblog.com). He writes about his working life, occasion late night supper and a lot of entertainment stuff.  The blog is written in Mandarin. The only English sentence I found in his blog is this, although I'm not sure if it's English:

"Ehh, Ah Ne say No Pok!!!!"

So that sums up a highlight of some interesting bloggers of iloveblog.  Haven't start blogging yet? You know you should
