Not that many anyway.

I don't think a few ads here and there disqualifies a blog from beaing "real", but if your blog primarily exists to attract surfers to click on your links/ads it's a splog, no matter how well written it is. Nothing wrong with that.

I don't have much experience with software other than WP and I don't see how you can go wrong. I've also played around a tad with Joomla. If you have no plans of ever going beyond basic blogging it's probably overkill, but if you down the road plan on expanding you certainly have more options.

WRT domains/folders I have no idea what might be best. Domains come cheap and you should probably be buying some anyway (you know, expanding your empire and all that). Why not install a blog in a sub-folder on your squirting LL to play around with just to see if it's something you want to do. Just remember that a quality blog (real or splog) will take up quite a bit of your time.

Well, I knew it wouldn't be easy. I got WP and I'm supposed to open wp-config-sample.php and fillin my database connection details. WTF?

You need to create the DB with your host first, then fill in the DB name, user, PW and host.

Have you set up a mysql database on your server before, or installed a script? The first one is always a little confusing, but it's really easy. Your hosting service will probably install it for you, but it's a good thing to know how to do.

I sent a ticket to my host telling them what I want to do and what folder I want the blog in. I'm sure they'll get it handled.
