Here's a Versiontracker search for blogger. Alternatively, you can easily do it by hand providing you have some server space to upload it to. I use BBEdit to code mine - once you've got a basic template for the page it's relatively straightforward.

There also another site called Blogger where you can easily publish a blog to '[yourhandle].blogspot.com' for free.

I have one there, but I have yet to devote some attention to it. It's funny. As a kid I always had the worst time trying to keep a journal of my thoughts. I'd jot in notes in little burst of energy for days on end, then it'd taper off. It'd be weeks before I picked it up again. There never seemed to be enough time to do the things.. (wait, that's the song.. where was I?) ah yes. I never seemed to have time to write in my journals. I was forever busy doing something.

So, after a recent failed attempt to keep yet another journal [I have no idea why I have this impulsive desire to "write it all down", but I have a sneaking suspicion that it has something to do with my organizational habit..], I decided to start an online journal. I love the idea of blogging becuz you can include links to your stories so you can get a real sense of the persons emotional state, what's making 'em tick today? type of thing. But, in the tradition of years past, I have yet to add to my blog since I first posted it.

See for yourself :)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this problem.. right??

WurdLuvrGrl, just wanted to say thats. I recently made the switch to a Mac (still have a windoze machine here but not used any more) and reading your threads has helped.

Just a real simple question but what is a 'blog'?

Blog is short for weblog; the online equivalent of a diary.
