thanks! So it sounds like I can start with either a blog site or register for a static site (with a “blog” type page on that site) The static site being just a bit more complex in setting up?

Thanks for your notes – problem being I kind of don’t know what you’re talking about. “Index page on my root: and moving indel to blog header file….perhaps I don’t understand it b/c I havent’ set anything up yet? I also don’t know what a CMS is.

But it sounds like what you’re saying is just start with a WordPress blog…and a blog format can handle all of the stuff I listed? Ads, podcast,place for people to post comments/questions that only I would see, extensive archeives that are easy to access?
