getting started

Just yesterday I was told by a close friend that I needed to start a blog of my own and then today I see these news reports about Microsoft offering free blogs. Though I do use Microsoft products I really hate to support them anymore than necessary, so I was very happy to see that Google offered free blogs, too. I plan to use this blog the same way most bloggers to-- to write out personal reflections, give my take on the news, pass on silly or interesting websites, etc. Let's see how it goes.
