WordPress, maybe?
This would be my suggestion. I've never used one of the blogs they give for free, but I installed it on my own server and it was easy as pie to use once I had it set up. No coding at all. And it's fairly professional looking.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Jilli, you can usually find torrents for such things. Isohunt would probably have them if you did a search there.
Unrelatedly, what criteria would you guys use to purchase a new computer? I have two laptops; the Dell is almost three years old, and the Powerbook is about five. Both of them still work, no hardware problems; even the Mac is using 10.4 with no major lag time, which I think is pretty impressive given its age and specs. But they are both a little older, and both get bogged down with the memory requirements of current software/oses. Is that enough of a reason to look into upgrading to a new machine?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Sue, if you're still looking for blog software suggestions in addition to wordpress, I've been very pleased with the ease of blogging using www.blog-city.com.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
SA,
hard to say. The longest I have every kept a laptop in daily use is 3 years. Usually after that period of time, there is a serious OS upgrade that I have to use to keep my documents running at home and in the office. My current laptop just finished year 2, so I am not sure how much longer I will keep it after this year. This one is chugging along, so I might keep it for awhile.

Where is my browser storing my zip code and how can I make it stop?

Where is my browser storing my zip code and how can I make it stop?Are you getting targeted ads for businesses in your zip code? I've been wondering if they read IP numbers or something, but then I checked mine, and it doesn't actually report my town, but a town nearby -- which is to say, I'm curious about the answer to this, as well.

I think they are probably getting it from the IP address. Tracking it back to the service provider.
