I'm reading but not commenting because I know nothing about blogs Robyn. Good luck with it if you are contemplating starting one.

I did toy with the idea myself a few times, but came to the conclusion that I probably spend enough time in front of a screen as it is

...then I thought what if no one reads it, or thought my ramblings not worthy....so I canned the idea

Funnily enough I started a blog last week and I am using wordpress, our IT guy suggested I try this first as you can move it if it keeps going.
I can't believe how many people have read my blog, as it about nothing really, but i have had a great deal of comments and I have 5 followers already.
I did find some of the workings in wordpress are not what different instructional websites show, my advice is that if you go use wordpress, use the instructions of the wordpress site as they are up to date and accurate.

PS! my blog is http://50plusandlovinglife.wordpress.com

I have 2 Blogs and both are Blogspot. Blogspot have recently changed the way they work , but I managed to survive the change. I am not very good at this technology but the Blog is useful in that everything I put on my Blog ,achookwoman, is also posted here.
My other blog has non Thermo recipes. It is good that I can separate them out. From my Blogs . I am able to link back to the Forum. Every day I learn something new to do with the computer as I try to use the Blogs to apply to my needs. I would encourage you to have a Blog if it is for a particular purpose. Some Blogs are REALLY awful.
Maddy you should seriously consider one, for all those beautiful photos you take. It would be a good reference for you for future years.

I'll second that ACW!! Well, Maddy . . how about it?

I have used both.
Got on fine with both, but when at my last job did another one and decided on Wordpress. I think it is my preference.

They are both fairly intuitive, and have clear instructions and help pages.

You could be clever and set up two, one in each and then after a few goes go with which you prefer. Then either take down the discard or put a link in from the one you choose to discard to the one you keep going with.

Thankyou

Well if you use WP already stick with it as the two providers are quite different.
