[FRIAM] blog stuff for the average bear?
Hi all after a bit of proding from the famly and one of them making a domain for me it has come to my attention they thought it'd be nice if in the process of seting up my website I added a blog. I'm kinda stuck to what solution to use! i've checked out wordpress in the past and theming it made my eyes glaze over. Some reviews swear by drupal. Any thoughts for the average bear?

Hello, I'd give Wordpress a try again. Themeing is very simple if you just download one of the hundreds of available templates. You can download and activate them from the wordpress control panel. Then changing the main or background picture is as easy as uploading a photo under the header menu. Most of the other CMS solutions seemed more complex and overly complicated when compared to wordpress. My solution would be to download LAMP/MAMP or WAMP, copy over wordpress, then find a theme you like. Presto your done except for blog content. Greg Sonnenfeld Junior programmers create simple solutions to simple problems. Senior programmers create complex solutions to complex problems. Great programmers find simple solutions to complex problems. The code written by topnotch programmers may appear obvious, once it is finished, but it is vastly more difficult to create.

Gillian: You could try iWeb - Web design for the rest of us - http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/ It's part of iLife and may already be on your Mac. There's a real simple blog template. iWeb features ready-made templates for welcome, about me, photo album, movie, blog, and podcast pages. Create as many pages as you like. Apple provides some 9 widgets including YouTube, Google Maps, mobileMe gallery... If you need more sophistications with categories, tags, archives and other WordPress flora and fauna, well then you may have to try WordPress again. Hope this helps.
