but i have no idea where to start.

I've actually been making blog posts in my head for the last four years, but we JUST NOW got a good visa that means that I don't have to keep such a low profile anymore. Plus, I'm planning on doingn Sweet Rewards next month and as such will have to have a blog.

So tell me where to start. I don't mind a learning curve if it's going to be a better program; I just want to share my life with the whole world (gag), have a little bit of privacy (is that even possible on the www???) and be able to customize it to look way cooler than my non-scrapping friends' blogs. :)

I would start at Blogger. It is easy and free!!! Then look at the threads. The ladies here have had some really helpful advice on how to start, how to make yours cool:p, etc...

Plus, you can use Zoe's super blog designs (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/home.php?cat=271) to make it look awesome!

Too funny, I just set one up tonight. I am too tired to pretty it up yet though! It was one of my New Year's resolutions to get a blog set up LOL

I started blogging back in December and it's definitely my release. I use Blogger and it's super easy!

I love Blogger. I have used both Typepad and Wordpress and I just can't wrap my brain around either. Blogger is so easy and super-customizable. You can do just about anything!
Zoe's blog tools are so easy and super helpful. Even if you decide to not use her pre-made items, her instructions alone are worth it.

Good luck!

Krystal, you've got some pretty awesome blog stuff yourself girl! ;)

I too recommend Blogger and I've got a huge collection of Zoe's products to change mine every month! Makes it sooo easy to do using her blog in a box!

I am always willing to help a friend make their blog look pretty! I have 4 of them. LOL I think I keep making up reasons to have a new blog...I'm a blogging addict! :D All the templates I used were free and I just tweaked them a bit.
