MLB.com has a new affiliate, MLBlogs.com. For about $50.00 a year, you can set up and write a baseball blog, powered by a special version of Movable Type. Plus, you have MLB.com behind you, meaning you have the potential for a lot of visitors.

MLB.com has some interesting people blogging. For staters, Tommy Lasorda.

After examining some of the featured blogs, it appears as if MLB is using a form of Typepad (which powers Balls, Sticks, & Stuff), online software created and maintained by Six Apart and is very similar to Movable Type (also a Six Apart creation).  Fifty dollars for a yearly subscription is the equivalent of the price of Typepad's Basic Service Level, however, the MLBlogs.com version has less disk space and bandwidth.

B.S. & S. Advice: If you think you want to give blogging a try, go directly to the source and subscribe with Typepad.  It is a piece of cake to use (if I can do it, anyone can), it's very reliable, and if you do run into trouble, tech support is very prompt and helpful.  When I made the switch from Blogger, I immediately wished I had done it sooner.
