still haven't made up my mind completely re. where to blog. Test-running blogs at:

1) MySpace -- http://blog.myspace.com/proseandpassion

2) yahoo360 --  http://www.geocities.com/michaelgrr/blog/

3) google -- http://proseandpassion.blogspot.com

I prefer the look and feel of 2), but 3) appears to be the best at handling comments ...
