People do it all the time with essentially no technical knowledge. Just go to wordpress.com and start poking around. I can help you if you would like. blogger.com is another one. They're both free and easy to use as I understand it. tammy,

Your latest post on living a recession-proof life is timely. My husband and I have always done that, and we've been very happy living well within our means. It's such a liberating way to live. Shilpan,

We are birds of the same feather :) I've always believed there is nothing anyone can do that I can't and what I tell my students is that if I can, THEY TOO CAN! Have a great day my friend ;) You are right Jean. We are birds of the same feather :)

Worrying about it can be a trap. Adebola, I learn best by doing, with the help of books and sometimes other people, rather than by formal courses. It's lot faster. It's sounds as if you're the same way. Darren,
