This is how I start

I've never used Blogger. It's free, which is good - but kind of strikes me as blah. I'll check it out and keep playing with it I suppose, because that will allow me to help a friend.

I still don't have to like it

This is my first post. Deal.

Since Diaryland has once again locked out anyone without a paid account, and I'm disinclined to cooperate with what's effectively blackmail, I'm going to try this site and see if it works for me.

I'm even less incined to post personal details here, where search engines roam. So we shall see if I bother or not.

There probably won't be many, if any, visitors here. I am considering wordpress on my own hosting site, though that just might require more ambition than I'm likely to possess any time in the next few weeks. We shall see how long it takes Diaryland to piss me off that badly.
