Blog Notes

http://www.blogger.com/start
This has a scrolling list of blogs that have recently had posts. Some are great and some are not. Also, this is where you would go to set up a blogger account, and to post to that account.
There is a photo posting software they will try to get you to use. Stay away from it. The regular posting window has a way to add photos, which is easy enough to use. When you get to that point write back and I will give you a couple of ideas that have worked for me.
