Blogger.com

I use Blogger to run all my blog sites. Why?
Actually by accident to start with. But after looking at most of the blogging software out there I am pretty happy with Blogger. It has all the features I need. But more importantly it is easy to use for newbies and people with no technical internet skills. While some of the more extensive software solutions may produce a better product (in some people eyes) I would recommend Blogger to any new person wanting to start a blog.
Their user interface is very simple and they have a good help system. They also answer support email requests promptly and politely (not in "You dummy" format).

I will provide some hints on how to create a blog with Blogger soon.

If you don't already have a blog the first thing to do is work out what you would use it for. There are blogs that pander to political rants and opinions, photo blogs, humour, family and personal blogs, technical blogs, even sex blogs. For now head on over to Blog Explosion and surf through a great bunch of blogs and check out what other peoiple are doing
