[QUOTE="linux.poet, post: 76719969, member: 443852"] If you have absolutely no previous web design experience, I would recommend Wordpress.com. You can just pick a theme and get your blog started, delegating all of the complex security issues to Wordpress.com instead of having to deal with them yourself, and it’s free. Since you are not interested in a website and just want a blog, that’s probably the best option. If you want your blog to be taken seriously, I would recommend a custom domain which is about $15 USD a year. For the learning curve, there are a ton of books and online video tutorials. I recommend [I]Teaching Yourself Visually Wordpress [/I](book)[I]. [/I]And if there are any programmers reading this, [I]Wordpress Complete - Sixth Edition [/I]has proven to be valuable for me. But you shouldn’t need the latter book unless you want to design your own custom theme or plug-in. This is why I prefer to code flat HTML/CSS for all of my blogs. :p There’s very little to hack into, and if someone tries, just restore from last backup and change all of the passwords. Much less stress. [/QUOTE]
