    Easiest site to set up a real Blog for Atkins / Journal?

    If I wanted to set up a blog away from this site, to track my progress for people away from this site, and a place for me to ramble on, where would you recommened I do it?

    Now, understand, I have ZERO knowledge about how to do this.

    1st Goal.... 299... Met on Feb. 3rd, 2009
    2nd goal... hopefully 275 by May 15th, 2009
    Ultimate goal 180 by sometime in 2010.

    My Before Picture.... My "During" picture will be posted when I get to 280 pounds:

    I use wordpress for my blog (not an Atkins blog, but no difference). You can also use blogspot.

        I find Wordpress to be the easiest. You create an account, choose a name for your webpage (it will be something like myweightlossblog.wordpress.com) and then you click "New post", write whatever you want, click "Publish"... and you're done. It doesn't require any HTML knowledge or anything like this... it's pretty much wysiwyg (=what you see is what you get). There's nothing you can mess up, so if I were you I'd give it a try. It's also fun to experiment with different blog designs and stuff.

        If you decide to do it and have techie questions, I'm happy to help. Here's where you sign up: WordPress.com

        Honestly, I don't think there's anything easier than Wordpress or Blogspot. I've been blogging for a few years but couldn't find anything more basic than these.

            heck put one on my site if you want. www.hawgy.com

            it has nothing to do with dieting at all. Actually only about 12 members since I just built it.....

            Hey baby, how do you like bald fat guys with no money?
