&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2006/02/kosmic_blogging.html#choose_your_axe"&gt;Choose your Axe of Compassion&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; There are lots of excellent &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog#Blogging_Software"&gt;blog tools&lt;/a&gt; available. The most popular tools are your best choice. They made it on top for a reason. They are well tested, backed by tech companies and enthusiasts, and have a large user base. Some tools are free. Some are not. Some cater to stereotypes. Going mainstream is not always a bad thing.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I wrote the above &lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2006/02/kosmic_blogging.html#kb101_injunctions"&gt;KB101 injunction&lt;/a&gt;, I didn&amp;rsquo;t include &lt;strong&gt;Zaadz Blog &lt;/strong&gt;as one the blogging tools of choice, simply because Zaadz is on &lt;em&gt;pre-Beta&lt;/em&gt;, meaning, that it&amp;rsquo;s still being tested and still not on its prime as of this writing. However, one of the assumptions of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2006/3/zaadz_pod_kosmic_blogging_101"&gt;ZPod:KB101&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is that we&amp;rsquo;re all going to use &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;each of our own Zaadz blog&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This is especially true for all the newbies in the blogosphere since this will temporarily shield them from all technical stuff so they can just focus on their blogging. Cool? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the veteran bloggers, this doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean that you are required to use the Zaadz blog. You are free to skinny dip in this pod and continue to blog on your home turf. But just keep in mind that in using your Zaadz blog, you&amp;rsquo;ll benefit more from the Zaadz social network, and vice-versa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there&amp;hellip; let&amp;rsquo;s start giving this pod some legs by using our Zaadz blog&amp;hellip; let our blogs be our &lt;em&gt;Axes of Compassion&lt;/em&gt;&amp;hellip; then let&amp;rsquo;s all learn the principles of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://brian.zaadz.com/blog/2005/12/why_zaadz_blog"&gt;Bodhisattvic blogging&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; as we go along&amp;hellip;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;kick ass and be still&amp;hellip;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
