A Fun Way to Track and Share Your Home Improvement Adventures

Remodels, new editions, and building a new home can be stressful, Are you preparing to embark on a home improvement journey?  Consider creating a blog to chronicle your progress. 
Blogging has many professional benefits, but consider the personal benefits for your family of posting photos, videos, updates, sharing family stories, and posing questions to the blogging community to make your experience interactive.  Share your progress with family and friends, or use it as a learning tool for yourself and your family to get into the world of online publishing. 

Many mistakenly believe a blog takes alot of work or technological savvy, but in reality a blog takes about five minutes to set up, and the Blogger interface is very simple.  A typical blog post can take as little as ten minutes to create and post online for all to see.

A great perk of this idea is that if you're planning to sell your home, you now have somewhere online to show potential buyers the before and after progress of your improvements!

Here are a few examples of great home improvement blogs, from the simple to the elegant:
