    Okay i got the address in posts thing. Cool.
    I am really concerned about teh ordering and layout.
    I will have so much info it needs to be organized so the category and hierachy feature is imperative
    Also is it possible to put attachments - lets say I want the CCMA form available for people to print, without making it a post. Can this be done?

    oh no, the landing page is fine, from your original postings on it I thought it was giving you trouble or wasn't linking through to the page.

    as for ordering and layout, you should be able to find a whole range of templates for blogspot (I know wordpress has a themes button and you can browse the available themes), so take a look around your dashboard on the blogspot site.

    I know wordpress has categories, but tends to do everything in a dated format. Blogspot may be similar.

    EDIT:
    take a look at this :

    gives you some info on layout. hope that helps a bit.

    A couple of quick tips.

    First, pace yourself. An article a day is better than 20 in one day and then nothing for a month.

    Second, don't sweat the layout and navigation too much up front. You can tweak it (and probably will) as you go along without losing any content.

    That is true. the other thing to remember is that it is presented in date order. When blogs first came out they were kinda presented like social diaries. Now that they've expanded into everything under the sun, they still keep that format.

    To all those who provided advice many thanks. I seem well on my way to being a blogmaster. HA HA
    More importantly - how do I drive traffic to the spot?
