Might I suggest that you guys take yourselves over to www.blogger.com and take a look at what a blog is all about.

You can create an account in less than 10 minutes and its really easy to do.

Whether or not you decide to proceed with "Blogs" is entirely up to yourselves but at least you will have had the opportunity to create and experience what a blog is about ... and best part its free!

Good luck
