@dan Wysiwyg Web Builder does do a blog style web site. Generally, this thing does not allow access to the HTML code, it is for those who are familiar with HTML but do not always want to deal with code to create a site. It is more than I want, however, it would do the job. I like Thingamablog and simply wish it was updated a little bit. It's a shame really. It and GreyMatter are dead simple and would do most or all of what I want if they had been maintained.

@dan BTW- My XP is well protected behind a firewall and double NAT'ed with a protocol gap. ;-) Short of the web browser, nothing gets through. I would consider an update, however, this thing is getting old enough to consider retiring. I have Mom's old laptop, about 2 years old or so and I could just update that and reinstall everything - PItA of course. The laptop is much bigger than I like. I like small. But any port in the storm might be a relief.
