Best Blog site?

[DarkKobold]

I really need to find the best site to pour my emotional heart out to a non-caring internet audience.....

No.

Actually, I'm going on a cross country trip this summer, and will be setting up a website to log the trip, and allow friends and family to track the trip... However, I'd rather it be fancy and nice, with a cool flash intro, etc, while still maintaining the blog comment aspect. It'd be cool to have the live journal feel without the crapass livejournal whiny ass look.

Anyone have suggestions?

Are you looking for blog software to put on your website or a website that hosts blogs?

A wordpress site example:

I see these types of sites all the time too, but this is the first one I saw with a different frontpage.  I'm not positive, but it sure SEEMS like you'd be able to set up a flash intro page, no?

Yeah shouldn't be a problem.  Make the Flash intro your main page then just link into the blog from there.

Hell you could just go get a damn blogspot deal and put up a page with just a flash intro that then links to blogspot for that matter.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I've got a friend who will host a word press blog for me.

BTW, the trip is me and 2 buddies crossing the US on Sport Touring Motorcycles.
