>WordPress seems to be the most recommended version these days. I've recently started using WordPress for a sort of combined blog and website. This option costs some money, but I can (I'm told) upload up to 3GB of stuff. There is a blog section and there are more permanent web-type pages too. I've never learned HTML, or designed websites, but the WordPress stuff has been relatively easy to use so far. You can have multiple authors (although that hasn't affected me). You can see what I've done at http://irishwaterways.wordpress.com/ I also did what Bruce suggested and hired (cheaply) the domain www.irishwaterwayshistory.com and pointed it to the WordPress site, so people can get there either way. I won't say I have mastered all of this stuff, but so far it hasn't been too bad. You can read about the arrangements at http://wordpress.com/ If I've understood the thing properly, you can also just get the software at http://wordpress.org/ and use it on a host of your choice. bjg
