Hi, I’m new on Ruby. Practically started a week ago and right now I’m  
wondering whether or not I can use ruby to design my web page on  
[blogger.com](http://blogger.com)? If not, I think the only alternative left would be  
designing a web page myself on rails, which, I don’t quite wanna do that  
cz it’s going to take “awhile”. Any advice from the pros?

afaik you can’t do that with [blogger.com](http://blogger.com). but creating your own blog  
shouldn’t be that hard. look at mephisto for a full featured RoR-based  
blogging-app. or just start from scratch. it’s not THAT much work.

i almost forgot two things.

first here is the url: [http://mephistoblog.com/](http://mephistoblog.com/)  
second: you might wanna choose a better topic next time you got a  
problem. “I’m a n00b and need help” doesn’t say anything about what  
your problem is about and many people probably won’t even read those  
posts.
