for anyone interested in creating a free, basic blog, I made a wordpress
blog but dropped that in favor of blogger (blogspot.com). I found
blogger easier to work with and more configurable. For example, the
wordpress site didn't allow you to edit the site html/css with the free
account, but no problem at blogger. I picked a template, uploaded a
custom header image, made a bunch of changes to the template css and
updated it quickly and easily. Anyone who wants a free, easy to use
basic blog will probably be happy with blogspot.com.
