Yiz can’t possibly do better than Blacknight. Just mention my name!
Find any reputable and cheap host that offers ftp access or offers one of the major blog softwares pre-installed e.g. wordpress. I use netfirms hosting in the USA (not local in the slightest but super reliable) they offer alot of sofware packages already on their servers and easy to configure.
Alternatively if you go the ftp route you could
e.g Download wordpress
upload via ftp to your hosting account.
you’re given some options such as the ability to install the blog software as the index page on your site. i.e. 73man.com rather than visitors having to navigate to 73man.com/blog
simple as pie really
Phew…I WISH I knew what that lasy comment meant….
Grandad: thanks for the viral marketing 😉
Markvader: thanks for some information on this one.
Is It…? Right there with ya!
I’d second Blacknight. They have a blog package thing that I used. Domain name and a one click install of WordPress afaik. Doesn’t cos the earth either.
Sorry, the geek in me escapes some times.
Thanks for the advice y’all. Will be coming back to you Grandad for some redesign a la English Mum if that’s OK?
