Writing a Cakewalk Blog is a positive experience. We provide everything you need, nothing you don't need – and you don't have to learn it all at once.
For authors who like to stay ahead of the game, you can schedule an entry to go live at a future date. This is a great way to keep your readers coming back, even if you want to take a break from posting entries.
All you need is the computer and the browser you're using right now. There is no software to install. You can use any computer with an Internet connection, wherever you go, to update your Cakewalk Blog.
No only do we supply everything through your browser, there's nothing to pay for. Cakewalk Blogs are free.
Our software works like the word processors and email programs you already know how to use. You can center text, use bold and italics, run spell check - and more! Our "Help" topics, should you need them, are clearly written, sensibly organized, and informative.
If you want to turn something you've saved in a document into a blog entry, you can copy that and paste it in. And, you can search all of your entries for a term, to see what you've already said about a subject.

You choose what your Cakewalk Blog looks like -- and change it anytime you want. Choose from eight different professional designs. You customize the look by adding your own banner title, sub-headline and byline.
Cakewalk Blogs offers three optional pages, to provide background on the author, background and context for the blog, and a listing of author recommendations. These pages allow you to introduce new readers to you and your blog without repeating information in every entry. The Author Recommends page is a great place to link to your own favorite blogs and web sites, and list the books and other material that keeps you informed.
Cakewalk Blogs include a search feature, so visitors can search all of your entries for a particular topic. If your readers prefer to browse, the navigation is simple: latest entries, earlier entries, later entries. And, to make reading a piece of cake, Cakewalk Blogs allows readers to select the font size your work is displayed in. What a treat for tired eyes!
Your readers can even sign up to receive an email each time you post an entry to your blog. Also, Cakewalk Blogs provides a printable view of each entry, so readers can have a paper copy of your work, not the page elements.
When your readers want to share your ideas with their friends, they can easily email the entry to someone. When readers want to share their ideas with you, they can add a comment to your blog. As readers add comments, you'll get a email notification. Of course you can choose to review and moderate comments before they go live- it's your blog, after all. You can even search all comments.
You can also respond to reader comments, creating an interesting conversation about the topic. Cakewalk Blogs includes one step in the comment process to protect your blog from spammers.
You'll want a broader reach than your own family and friends, so we boost your blog voice with some behind-the-scenes technology. We make sure that search engines know your blog exists, and alert them regularly so they'll know you have new entries.
The complete list of features is quite long, so we've put it on a separate page. Complete Cakewalk Blogs Feature List
