Looking to start a blog?

There's a fair overview of platforms at Macworld: Feature: A blog for everyone

I use Moveable Type software from SixApart, and 1and1.Com for hosting. I use their Business plan - which has 250 GB web space and 2.5 terabytes monthly data transfer.

Computers from when they would last decades to now when their programs last months, if not weeks.

The cry of RTFM! is heard throughout the land. Now find that 3x5 card...
