Okay, I downloaded this sound program, but when I loaded it, it said "no sound driver detected". But I can listen to music with itunes and watch you tube videos and DVDs. I'm confused. Thoughts?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Recommendations for blog hosting? At the moment I'm thinking something simple, so I can throw together a site pretty quickly. Also, either cheap or free....

Have people tried Google Blogger?

eta: This is actually blogspot, right?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Blogger and Blogspot are the same.

Both Blogspot and Wordpress.com are free and pretty much instant to set up; my usual advice is to sign up for both -- you can play around with the admin interfaces that way, pick the one you like, and hold on to the other as a redirect/namesquat since there's no way everyone is ever going to remember which one you're on.

I prefer the Wordpress interface, but it's been ages since I've looked at Blogger.

Me too -- generally speaking, Blogger gives you more theme choices, but WP gives you much better admin tools. Still, some people really love or hate one or the other, and there's no way to know until you've played around with them.
