yeah, wordpress is where it's at. I was once a blogspot/blogger.com user @ thewitnessexchange.net until I found that it was just too limited. Wordpress is easy to use, free and entirely customizable. It even offers import 'tools' for transfering from other blog hosting services to make the transition that much smoother and the user forums and support are amazing. To get you started there are many, many 'skins' (or themes) available and plenty of plugins for everything from Flickr integration to random post blocks. A light knowledge of html/php/css will make things a tad easier but I didn't know anything about any of it until Wordpress came along anyway and proved to be a great way to familarize yourself with those languages. Sounds like exactly the thing you are looking for. good luck, Dakota @ TWX --- joshua twentythree <joshua@ropeswingcities.com> wrote:
