anyone know of any cool, free, customaziable blogs? Maybe even one where designers and whatnot congregate?
I see there's ones here but it looks like those are for moderators. Thanks

The one here addresses the "graphic" design business and is definitely not just the moderators. The posts are great information for anyone in the graphic design biz.

Another one that I lke that addresses graphic designers' issues is The Prepared Mind (http://www.thepreparedmind.com/pm/) .

But if you are looking specifically for "Blog" design, here are some options for customizable blog design:
Sillyness Spelled Wrong Intentionally (http://www.chrisjdavis.org/)
List-a-matic (http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/)
Layout o matic (http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/Layout-o-matic.php)
A List Apart (http://www.alistapart.com/)

Hope these can help.

I'm confused by Blogs. Is it a journal of slightly organized thoughts or are a lot just random thoughts? Where is a good place to understanding blogs?

The blog can be whatever you want Crimson!

blog = web log

it's a sort of a public journal. You can use them to educate people, keep your family and friends up to date with what you have been up to, talk about current events, cite your political viewpoints, or anything at all.

Lots of them are completely random, and lots of them aim to educate people or express opinions.

For anyone blogging, just remember... blogs are public domain. Don't say anything oon your blog that you don't want the world - including your boss or a potential client - to see!

I'm seeing more and more commercial Blogs and see this as another offering to clients who are looking to use their power to communicate to customers or employees in an easily updated format such as Blogs. The Marketing Blog I had on a
previous thread (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8900) is a great example.
