Been looking at developing my blogs. Of course I'm no expert. Two sites are of note. My plan of action is as follows:

1) register my own domain (Probably wildoxgibraltar.com or something along those lines)
2) download wordpress (No sorry, already done that bit) - instal wordpress using the really coool guidelines shown in BlogBasics
3) download a cool theme from wpthemes.info
4) Blog, blog and blog some more

That's the theory anyway.
