Begining a blog

Why not. Lots of people have blogs. Even some friends of mine.

Right now I'm in a rather shabby backbackers in Christchurch, New Zealand, having spent several hours in the last couple of days writing up diary entries. A blog would seem the most appropriate way of publishing them, though I don't know if I can do it properly until I'm home. Partly because I have pictures I can't easily get from the camera to the computer, and partly because this backpackers is unusual in having un-metered internet access (though people do look round the corner from time to time hoping to get onto the computer) so the luxury of working out how to do things won't often be available.
