Whats Better For A New Site A Blog Or Website

[Dien Rice]

A good friend of mine has a terrible weakness. Whenever someone yawns, she always catches it!

She tries to stifle it... You can see her try. But within a minute, her yawn always comes out.

Why are yawns "viral"? Gee, if you could put an advertising message in a yawn... But I digress!

Here's how NOT to write a blog... Here are some real blog entries...:

Tidying some pencils (March 16)
Some pencils were scattered around on my desk. I picked them up one by one. I placed the pencils in the drawer which I use to store pencils.

Opening a cupboard door (October 17)
There was a cupboard in the corner of the room. I reached out my hand and gripped the door handle. I pulled the door towards me, thereby opening the cupboard.

Standing in the middle of the room (April 21)
I was standing at a central point in the room. The walls were all at approximately the same distance from me. I continued to stand there for a few moments.

These come from "The dullest blog in the world" http://www.wibsite.com/wiblog/dull/ .

There's also "The world's most boring blog" http://mostboringbloginuniverse.blogspot.com too!

glass of water poured, drunk.
I went to my refridgarator today. I took out a pitcher in which I had placed hydrogen two oxygen, also known as water, because I wanted the water at the ideal temprature before I drank it. I then poured a glass of water at about 2/3 to the glass's maxium capacity. I then proceeded over the next half our to drink the water.

Hmm...!

What Steve says is right. There's something called "Fantastico" which some web hosts have. If you have Fantastico on your web host, it will have a list of programs you can install, essentially with one click. One of the web hosts I use (BlueWho) has this set up. I recommend (as Steve says) contacting your web host to see if they have WordPress available to be installed via Fantastico...

Best of luck with your blogging!
