Web design / blog adivce

So I've got an idea for a website, but haven't made a one since mucking around in Frontpage like 10 years ago

I'd like to do my own site outright eventually, but for the sake of ease I've started it in blog format at the moment. I'm playing with Blogspot, which seems pretty robust, but looking for any general advice on what web design software is best/easiest, which blog hosting sites are best etc..

For DIY, WordPress. Run it on their platform now, if you ever want to heavily customise you can move it easily to your own real hosting.

You're not going to use any web design software these days.

+1 on wordpress

+2 wordpress. It'll handle all you need it to and probably more.

ok ta.. will have a play with that tonight

Ahhh but how will you convert your SWF to AVI?

Riddle me that!

you can get a program for that PD

Welcome to my blog

on topic, I use both blogger and wordpress - blogger is awesome for quick setup no frills action... wordpress vastly superior if you want more features and to think more than you may need to - in short both good, myspace bad

you would have LOVED yesterdays NZ Herald front page

... ok why? :p

ahhh it cant be seen on their website but was a HUGE front page headline about how SBW was literally a heartthrob

ah fuck, can you/someone take a photo of it if you still have it? I'm collecting instances of that heh

<3 how Maestro religiously buys hard copies of the Herald

I know, it's so cute :>

Joomla or Wordpress

Hahaha... We constantly ask ourselves who the hell buys print media regularly these days!

I like reading the sports section while I eat my lunch, cmon.... Im old school


edit: ALTHOUGH...I have recently enforced "no news days"...on Tuesday and Thursdays, so yeah sorry I dont have a hard copy. I just sighted the headline at the shop
