If you are thinking about starting a blog, the simple solution is Blogger. They have a few templates and you can make a fairly fancy blog without knowing too much. As with everything, a basic understanding goes a long way, but it’s possible to make a decent blog with no previous experience.

I made some Blogger blogs, and kept hearing that I should try WordPress. Finally, I did. I have to admit that WordPress has a lot more to offer, in the form of themes and plugins.

It took me a little time to sort out the different WordPress options. I had some moments where it was almost driving me crazy that I couldn’t figure out what to do next, but I got past it.

Now, I’m fairly familiar with the dashboard and I know how to do most of the things I need to do: post with links and photos, update my categories, utilize the comment spam protection features, and even edit my theme.
