I am also using WordPress. I asked Nathan what he uses, and it is WordPress 
also.
I had to change web hosts, which is a chore as most change is, but?I think 
it will work out for the better as I was able to find a new domain 
name,?rgaphoto.com, instead of RAflexions.com. I'm working on getting the 
new website, that includes a link to the blog, up over the holidays.

If you?go to http://wordpress.org/hosting/?the list web hosts who?support 
the installation of wordpress for free. Wordpress is also free. I?signed up 
with Bluehost as they were listed first. So far a good experience for a good 
price.

It just takes time...

Best,
Blog :-)

Mostly the blogging software runs on the hosting server, not your 
home computer, so it doesn't matter whether you're running 
Windows/MacOS/Linux/godonlyknows.

I like wordpress, myself, and if you use the free wordpress.com 
hosting service they handle all the backend stuff for you.? The 
downside is of course that you have only a limited number of skins 
and styles... but there's a good selection and the price is right.

There are apps, usually browser-based, that some people think make 
posting somewhat eaiser, but they're not really necessary.? 
Personally I don't think they're all that helpful, although I have 
experimented with a couple.? I'd rather use the word processor for 
text, my usual photo software for pix,? and do the layout work when I 
get to a nice cafe' with wifi...
