Blogging! WTF is blogging?

It has been my intention to build my own web site, dedicated to my hardware tinkering hobby/lifestyle for at least the past 5-6 years. Maintaining a "real" web page whit out the help of some service is too much of a bother for me and the past 3 attempts to get Testi3 of the ground have failed due to creative differences whit my web designer ;) Now this blogging business looks like it might do the trick, seams easy enough and not too high maintenance and does not involve any coding so I'll give it a go.
