Blogs-getting started?

Hi there we are wanting to start a blog - super technically challenged - LOL. Any suggestions out there? Any adoption music that anyone can suggest?
Thanks

Hi Kim,

Easiest ones to start a blog on are Blogger and Typepad. I have my blog on Blogger and it's very simple to use. Not sure if I can include the website, but just add the www and the .com for each of those website names.

Ditto... Typepad or Blogger are the two I like best. Blogger is the easiest of the two to use for someone without a ton of HTML experience, in my opinion.

Just start simple. It walks you through picking a template for your layout and you don't need to be technically savvy to get your first posts going. Once you get into it, it's a lot of fun and a great way to read back months later at all you accomplished.

I can't give you any advice on adoption related music. I don't use music on my site, and I'll be honest, if I go to a blog that has music queued up, I mute it right away. I want to focus on reading what someone took a lot of time and thought to put together for their audience and I find the music a little distracting. I also don't want to inconvenience my friends, family and coworkers with music, who might be going to my blog when their kids are asleep, or at work (gasp!).

Let us know when you have yours up and running!
