2. I use Blogspot

To do this:

Go to www.blogspot.com.

Choose your URL. (You'll get a url that looks like: "yourtitle.blogspot.com.") If it's not available, it'll tell you, and you can try again.

Then follow the screens. It's pretty user-friendly. There are other services you might like better.

In order to post, you'll need to know a few HTML tags.

You can download a client that allows you to blog without accessing the blogger site.

it's called w.bloggar and can be found, I believe, at www.wbloggar.com .

It works for LiveJournal, Xanga, etc., too.

ON EDIT: I have one question for you as well... HOW 'BOUT THEM EAGLES??!! :D

5. How 'BOUT them Iggles!?!?!??!?!

I love what they are doing right now, but I have to be honest. A part of me secretly hopes they lose either the 49ers or Redskins game. I worry about a team that rides an 11-game win streak into the playoffs.

This is a tricky line of reasoning since they may need to win out in order to get homefield throughout...

:crazy:

6. Good job, Brian: Wanna make a link?

Try this:

<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/12/17/eveningnews/main589137.shtml"(CBS)</a>

This will link "(CBS)" to the source for your story.

To make a link, use this code:
<a href="http://www.addresshere.com">text you want highlighted</a>
