I want to set up a blog but not sure how - I want it for personal and business (not PC) The old personal websites like Geocities used to have nice templates but I dont' see something like that on Myspace.

I can't afford to have someone create a site for me - Is there anything out there that allows you to create something decent without being a website wiz????

Thanks, Kathy
 
I think blogspot has templates.
 
Vox is nice too.
 
Or wordpress.com!
 
My friend, Jessica McBride, uses blogspot:
http://mcbridesmediamatters.blogspot.com/I use WordPress - it was set up for me by an associate, and the annoying little ads on my blog are what pays for it.
http://jrmanning.com/BTW - if you follow any of the links on Jessica's blog roster, you'll find most of them run blogspot, too. Ann is correct - there are templates in blogspot you can use.
