How

I put off starting a blog
a long time because I thought
would be hard. I thought
would be technical. I thought I'd have
install scripts
tear my hair out getting them
work. At
point, most
what I'd read about blogs
RSS was just so much geek-speak.
Was I ever wrong!
When I finally got
courage
give
a go, I went
blogger.com
signed up
an account. To my amazement, I had a blog set up
about 5 minutes. My first post was uploaded
my site about 10 minutes later.
The only thing even remotely technical I was required
do was enter
FTP settings
website my blog would be published on. But even
wasn't a requirement. With Blogger, you can set up a blog
their site, Blogspot,
not even worry about FTP settings.
Since then, I've started 3 Blogger blogs

most popular blog applications

time
learn something completely new, I would urge you
drop by Blogger.com
take a look. You could be blogging -
enjoying
benefits - almost immediately.

If you're a new blogger, both Wordpress

learn any new technical tricks. Why not give one
them a try?
