[nabs-l] how to blog

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Hi all,

A bit off topic, but I know this tech involved group would know about this.  Some of you might have blogs about experiences related to blindness such as training center experiences.

Anyway, I am interested in writing a blog.  Actually I'd write two for two purposes.  One will be a more informal journal about my progress and if I go back to school, I'll tell about that.  Another one I'd like to write articles about things I'm interested in to showcase my writing and reflect on things.  I don't know what that will be yet.  I might write about volunteering if I begin to do that regularly.  I also may decide to write my opinions of books I read or plays or concerts I attend.  

What are good sites for blogs? I have not done this before.  Whatformat?  Will they give me a template?  Can I upload audio clips from a digital recorder to them?  Is there a maximum amount of space allowed per blog entry?

Any advice you have would be great.  I think this will be a way toshow my writing style, share my opinions, and reflect some on my part.  I am looking for work and I have some time to further practice my writing skills.  I also think a blog will let anyone know more about me.

Thanks!

Ashley
