I was hoping to find an easy-to-use blogging tool (Wordpress, Joomla, etc) to publish my info but have had a heck of a time getting the system template in place.  I spent probably 3hrs today reviewing Joomla videos on youtube trying to unwrap the mystery behind menus, categories, articles, plugins, templates, etc - my eyeballs are spinning!

I just need a page to write down my thoughts, add some pics, and post.  It would be nice to see a menu-type system on the right to look at recent articles.  A search button would be nice as well.

Wordpress. Tried and true, easy to set up and blog. Ric
