I'm not looking for bells and whistles.  Just functional.  I'm pretty competent with a computer, but I'm not a techie by any means.  Bit of basic html, but not much else.

or just blog. Most websites that allow you to blog have their own build in software. Hardly need for anything else.

Just blog, but I'm wanting to be able to do stuff like link to other blogs etc.  So I'm mostly looking at the specific blogging sites, rather then wanting to build something from scratch.  Thanks!

I already do a fair bit, but this has slightly different aims.  It's more for the standard blogosphere stuff- mostly writing about politics with a bit of occult and music thrown in for good measure.

So I want a site that's not specifically BDSM related, so it gets a different audience.  And I want to be able to enable commenting as well and link to some of my friend's blogs.

What you describe is very simple, basic stuff, easily done. The sites already mentioned are all good choices.

Also--there are MANY bloggers' groups, all with vigorous discussions/tips, all easy to find on Google.

Have fun!

We have LJs too, but it's lost it's edge a bit.  Gets a bit myspacey.

Another alternative to Livejournal is Dreamwidth (www.dreamwidth.com).  It's in invite-only mode right now, but you can get a free invite code by responding to any of the offers of codes here:  http://dw-codesharing.dreamwidth.org/

@ dark

Yeah, I have an LJ kicking around (it's where I know the basic html formatting from) but have decided to look elsewhere for those reasons.  The whole "why have you not added me to your friends list when we are friends!" issue is a drama llama I can do without...

Nah.... fortunately that isn't an option as such (which is why I like it)  But I like that you can post links to sites, hubs and blogs ya like.  I have a writer/friend who uses it pretty prolifically and she rocks and hers is a really good example of what you can do with it - kind of journalistic in a sense.  I'll mail you the addy on the other side if you want to have a peak at it, just let me know.
