I don't think this is a good idea, because, everyone else is getting the credit not you. you should'nt have best rssponse listed on this page, you need your discussions on this page, don't you think?

I first started out with a blog on blogger.com but quickly moved over to wordpress.com cause it's so much easier and there was no need to know any html etc. Now I have my own domain and hosting and still use wordpress. I guess the best way to learn is by trial and error, though thankfully (specially with a wordpress blog) if you make a mistake it's pretty easy to fix. If you're interested I started this lens on squidoo recently which is a guide to setting up and maintaining a blog http://www.squidoo.com/guide-to-blogging/

Everything I learned about blogging, I learned by doing. I tend to be a hands-on learners. So I found a site that allowed me to start a blog (I started with LiveJournal), and I did it. Then I explored a few other options and practiced blogging before settling for my current blogs. http://morgandrake.blogspot.com/ http://gleamingsfromthedawn.blogspot.com/
