Thanks Lynn and stylemangi for jumping in with suggestions.

I agree about Wordpress and think it's a great way to get started. I suggested blogger redirected to her host just because then you don't need to know ANYTHING technical at all. With Wordpress you do get into lots of technical issues that take a little time and learning. Installing plugins and stuff may be nothing to us but if Jacky is a complete web newbie it could be a lot.

Jacky if you want to go the WordPress route, which is a good one - then lots of the SEO stuff is automatically taken care of because search engines love WP blogs. If you aren't technical at all and would rather pay someone to set it up, design it and add all the plugins for spam and stuff that you may need then I have the guy for you. He does all my blogs, is an official WP designer, extremely reasonable and fast. He did a totally custom design for my 5 Star blog which is ranked #1 in all the search engines. He could have a blog set up for you in a couple days for probably around 150. Bobbie one of our forum members sometimes does WP set-ups and may even charge less.

Hope this helps!
