Here we go again.

Hi all. I am a returning member from a few years ago. I spent the past four and a half years getting my Bachelor's in History and being told what to write. I'm finally ready to get back to writing for my own sake. For the most part I'm a lurker, but I look forward to getting to know everyone and benefiting from your wisdom.

With that in mind, I got a couple of questions that are probably easily searchable, but every now and then, I'm known to be a little lazy.

What is the best site for blogging? I'd like to avoid Blogger if I can. I had to use it for a bunch of classes during my undergrad work, and have grown to despise it thoroughly.

And: Is the fee for Duotrope worth it? Of course the day I decide to register, they start charging.

Hello lewisc and Tepelus. I'll look into that lewisc. It's probably a good idea---as long as I can get away cheap. Funds may be a little tight with my student loans coming down the pipe in 6 months. Though I'm not as bad off as a lot of other people I know.
