The simplest thing would be something like a WordPress blog.

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

I agree with Ginger- in fact, go wordpress.com rather than setting up your own. Free hosting in the actual hosting sense tends to the sketch, wordpress.com can handle all the traffic the universe can possibly throw at it (I mean, they host the frickin lolcats!), and there's basically no setup other than getting your content up.

I would say the same, and unlike Ginger and amych I am a mere civilian in the technological world. I have set up a wordpress.com blog myself and it was very easy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto to all of flea's points.

In addition to the suggestion of wordpress, you may want to look into posterous. I have found blogging there to be incredibly painless.

I format posts in gmail (including adding pictures), and mail them to posterous and they show up.

seriously. that's it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have a powerbook. Two weeks ago, the power cord went (I have had this for over 3 years, so not unexpected). I bought a new power cord. Now this power cord does not seem to be working. I only have an hour and 24 minutes left-- what the heck? Could I need another new cord? I have tried plugging it in in several plugs and restarting and I am stll on batter power and there is nolght on the cord where it attaches to the computer.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I know this sounds silly, but have you tried turning the end of the cord that plugs into the computer the other way around? Mine sometimes doesn't work if one side is up, but with the other side up, it works fine.

I didn't know it went the other way! But alas this did not work.

I am pretty irked because I have no other tv or DVD player, so I will be completely entertainmentless except gettng on the internet on my phone.

OK- I think I might be a genius! I took the power cord half of the new adapter, and the other half of the old broken one, and put them together. Still weird that the new one crapped out like that.
