So I decided I want a blog. What next?

Anyone have suggestions, especially for hosts? I want a pretty simple interface; something that will make posting uncomplicated, yet I still would like flexibility and a good range of features. No ads or pop ups, preferably. I'm willing to pay up to 30 bucks a month, I suppose.

Thanks, all.

1. Blogger.com

Everything is very easy to use, and it is free.

2. Ask yourself this

Does the world really need another blog?

5. Surely not.

But it's getting one anyway.

7. I didn't think the world needed another burger joint

either, but BackYard Burgers just opened across from McDonald's and BK. Wendy's and Sonic are just down the road. Across from Chequers. Not too far from Krystal. Next to Hardee's.

6. Just be ready for the lack of interest...

...that usually follows most new entries into Bloggerworld. If you get any regular response at all you'll be doing well.

Having said all that, why not do it? It can be very therapeutic. Have fun and do your best to make it interesting. I'll certainly take a look at it when it's up.

8. I just started one on blogger

VERY easy.

Nobody reads it, but I don't care. It's mostly just a creative excercise anyway.

If anyone is interested, I'm posting a fairly deep NFL preview currently. I've only done the NFC west so far, but if anyone wants to check it out and give me some feedback I'd love it.

Such a pathetic plug I know...
