Re: practicalities of blogging

["Claire Conant" <claireconant -at- comcast -dot- net>]

Wordpress (www.wordpress.org) has two options. You can use their blogging 
service, which has a user interface on their site to compose and publish 
your blog. You can also download their free software for hosting your own 
blog on any third-party hosting site. I've found that the templates can be 
tweaked easily enough to incorporate static pages and blog pages into one 
site. Rather, I've seen others do that. I will attempt to also do that soon.

Windows Live Writer (http://www.windowslive.com/default.html) is a software 
that's on my personal computer, and I open it much like I would Word or any 
other authoring tool to write my content. It has an intuitive interface (in 
my opinion) and when I'm done crafting my excellent prose (kidding), I 
simply click Publish. In short order (depending on Internet connection 
speed), my post is published to my blog and visible to all.

Essentially, I use the two together.
