I just set up a new blog through WordPress and it was extremely easy. With the exception of a slight error in setting up my database, the installation scripts did 98% of the work and I was up and running in 20 minutes.
I had been going through Blogger but found it a little lacking in features. It also didn’t work too well incorporating onto my main page, but maybe that was my fault as well.
For now, the blog will remain somewhat separated from the rest of my site until I’m comfortable merging them together. This is the first I’ve really touched my site in about a year so hopefully this momentum won’t die before I complete it.
