Trying to get "IN" to blogging...

I'm finding it sort of tough to remember to take time to actually WRITE something on OUR blog. I think it's mostly because I want this to be a blog for the FAMILY, not a place for ME. Eventually I think I'll have to expand so that I can have my own spot to ramble on or vent, or just share random thoughts.
I find it tough to blog because I want to keep my kids and their info safe, yet still share this with ALL of our friends. That's tough when so many people are easily distracted from reading when they are required to log on first. Besides, if that had been what all of you that inspired me to do this, had done, I never could have freely enjoyed YOUR blogs to know that this could actually be fun (not to mention letting me enjoy knowing how many of you have grown and acquired amazing spouses and families of your own. :o)

I want to change the page all the time, have each entry in a different font, but find too many limits. I'm thinking I need a computer class to refresh my dormant brain so I can liven things up without it needing a brain transplant and 6 hours in the middle of the night to get the darned photo to stay in the spot I want it to withOUT causing 6 extra rows of spaces to suddenly appear when I click "publish post".

I'm a very smart person, and in general, have always been fairly successful with computers (even long before PCs had windows...just ask my H.S. computer teacher.) But if there are a zillion ways to scrapbook on a computer, and each page can be different, then why do I need to search and test for hours to end up with ALL my titles in the same font and style? Maybe today I'm in a harsh and rigid mood, and later I'll want some relaxed loopy writing. Oh well, I'll sort this all out eventually - or give in to the simple look.........
NOPE!!
NOT POSSIBLE -- I can't do it -- I'm married to a Graphic Artist! Simple just will NOT due. *sigh* please give me patience to figure out a more "fun" way to do this before my brain oozes out my ear.
