Um....Start here

I recommend Wordpress.

Then go ahead and ask more specific questions when you need to :) We're a friendly bunch.

Have joined. :o Now how do I follow people get people to follow me? Someone somewhere must want to follow me. Or is that being overly presumptuous.

Read other blogs, comment, get involved, build relationships, write good content often enough...get on twitter and meet people there who may be interested in your blog (but don't just tweet blog post entries - that's boring and annoying)...

Are you on Twitter, Vera?

That is the best way to get people reading your blog.

Tweeeeeeeeter is the only way anyone reads anything I post. Probably because people are on twitter because they are bored and have nothing better to do Wink
