THIS is how it happens.

A guy starts a clever blog in January and calls it Stuff White People Like. The site contains a list of cultural totems, including gifted children, marathons and writers’ workshops, that a certain type of moneyed and liberal American might be expected to like.

“The No. 1 reason why white people like not having a TV,” reads the explanation under entry No. 28, Not Having a TV, “is so that they can tell you that they don’t have a TV.”

I pretty much with what Mitch Wagner is recommending for first time bloggers although I'd recommend Blogger first (I don't see his reason for not recommending it as a good one. I rely on the comment registration and CAPTCHA to keep out the riff raff.) with Vox a close second.

And then I recommend Typepad as the one to "graduate" to or to start with if you're really serious about blogging and have a direction and focus for a blog already established. My 3 most important blogs are on Typepad. My fun blogs are on Blogger. And I'm just starting to test out Vox.
