Blogging can be fun but will rule your life

I really want to blog but I have no idea how to get started. I put blog into Google and there were just too many hits for me to follow. I am very much a beginner and I am not all that technical. Is this going to be really difficult for someone like me?

I don't mind having to learn a bit but if it gets too complicated I may have to give up. Will I need to learn to program something? Will it cost a lot? Would it be free if I had a Linux machine? Even if you tell me it is too expensive or difficult, that would be better than not knowing anything.

This is an enormous subject. There are all sorts of ways to blog and it can be fraught with many difficulties, but the technology aspect to it all should not be one of them.

It reminds me of wanting a pet when I was a child. My mother said: 'Are you aware the dog must be fed and taken for a walk every day? Are you prepared to do that? If you are not, there will be no dog.'

You may not have to blog every day but people have begun to expect a certain amount of regularity. And, if you cannot deliver, you may discover there are not many interested in your blog.
