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.

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!

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?

A computer sent a bit through my transistor.

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.
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.
