Where to begin?

I've kept blogs in the past through sites like Myspace or Facebook, so I'm kind of excited to give a actual blog site a try.  Altough I've never kept a journal, I find blogging to be similar.  Something I can look back on in a few years and see how I've grown.  I'll use this as an outlet to sometimes vent, say what's on my mind and chronicle interesting stories in my life.  I'll try to keep it interesting, but to tell the truth I'm writing this for myself, not for an audience.  Feel free to comment, another point of view is always appreciated!
