How To Create A Blog
A blog is an online diary or as some people call them a weblog. They can be aboutany topic you would like to comment on.
Setting up a blog can seem to be a very difficult task for the non techie typeout there. They(the techie types) talk about MYSQL, PHP and you need a reader toread a blog in. Then they say u gotta ping the blog.
Is that a new mixed drink or something ?

My Dad being basically computer illiterate a short time ago. HMM I still think heis but I wont say it to often in this house.
