Gwendolyn - I also find it hard to keep up with these things. I'm more and more becoming a fan of tools for the lazy web. Check out tumblr for easy blogging, I never could keep a Blogger or Wordpress blog going, but tumblr, hasn't been so bad. And Twitter? I can definitely find time for 140 characters of something :)
