Thanks.

I'm sure I watched a bunch of those, as well. Some of the shows from when I was really young, I forget.

I'm looking forward to Prison Break, House, The Simpsons, Family Guy and King of the Hill. Then, in the winter, definitely 24 and maybe The Cleveland Show.

Welcome.

The new Fall TV season is nearing. What shows are you looking forward to?

Darren's awesome. You wouldn't happen to be going to Blog World Expo, would you, hawkfish? Patrick

Yeah, seriously, I couldn't do that.

The woman in the jewelry store is probably the one that handled it the best.

Generally speaking, it's best to host your own blog, if you can, as it tends to afford you more control and flexibility. Like hawkfish, I use WordPress (I also use Nucleus CMS, but I'm working on converting those to WordPress). Web hosting can run you anywhere from a few bucks to infinity, based upon your traffic and other factors. But, for most people, a $10 a month hosting plan is probably enough. And then a domain name will cost you around $10 a year. And those would be the minimum expenses for hosting a blog. That said, depending on your goals and limitations, a free host can work. If I was going to use one, from what I've heard about it, I'd go with WordPress.com. I'd still use my own domain name, and pay for that service on WordPress.com ($15 a year), just so that I could take my name with me when/if I was ready to graduate off the service. Good luck. Thanks, Patrick
