Do what you want. As long as you have a record of your flight time in an orderly/neat/presentable format, these days it really doesn't matter any more. Remember though that if you receive flight training, you still need to have some sort of physical endorsement/signature from the instructor (a sticker will suffice for those out of regular flight training towards ratings).

I have tried several different commercial and shareware logbook programs. At the end of the day, I still preferred my own excel spreadsheet since I can program and format it exactly how I like. It doesn't do all of the "gee whiz" stuff like breaking down currency and how many hours I have in a particular tail number in whatever month of whatever year, but most of that is just fluff anyway.

Every couple of months when I fill out a new "page" I print it and put it into a nice binder with the rest of the pages- this becomes my "presentation" logbook that I use for interviews. Here's an example of the printed page:



It works for me and I've never had any issues in an interview.
