How the heck do I blog?

[Honeyville]

Hey everyone. I'm thinking of setting up a blog attached to our online store to have a rapidly updated area where customers can post product questions or share their experiences. The problem is I'm not familiar with the whole blog thing. I know that many of you have personal blogs set up and I was hoping you could lend some advice on how to set up. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Chris,

if you have your own domain, you can set up a blog software like wordpress or serendipity for your blog. you need to have access to your server (php and such), though. MAybe you should have a look at the possible candidates out there before deiciding. Anotherw way is to look out for a blog hoster (many are free) like blogger.com or typepad and use their services and redirect the pace on your website yourwebsite.com/blog to this location - far easier, but of course you are dependant on a service firm / blog hoster.

I use eblogger (see my siggy) and find it really user friendly.

Yeah, blogger.com is really tastefully done. I've used others in the past, but don't like them as much. Here is mine if you want to take a look: www.elizabethinstpaul.blogspot.com. I modified an existing design that they had.
