Getting started in blogging

You've obviously got your own domain so it won't cost you anything to download Wordpress and set up a blog/s to see how it suits you.

Thumblogger is certainly very worthwhile if you want to go the free hosting route, and you'll learn a lot along the way.

I've done both, and can recommend both ways of blogging although in my experience you've got to go the volume route to make any real money. I've now bought Blogs Organiser which is a fantastic way of making and controlling a large number of Blogs.

Thanks for all the help. I did check out some of the blogs in the blogging forum, and will take some notes. I downloaded the trial version of blogs organizer, but couldn't get it installed...I'll check with support to see what's going on.

I do have "lusciousdelights" domain, but was not sure if it would be best to have a page or section on that domain or start a whole new domain.

I'm surprised you had trouble with the install, did it get as far as asking for your database info?

If you and Japamor have any BO questions hit me up I've got a pretty good handle on the script

Sorry, I meant blog automater, as recommended by Walrus above. I think BA is what I want, but I'm not really sure.

On the install, I did not get past running the the installer...I get an error message when I try to install. The server test thingie reports everything is ok...I do have a post in the forums. I've installed a few scripts and this one looks easy, so I'm thinking it's a server problem. We'll see.
