        Blog or not I tend to prefer Wordpress and Joomla for CMS. (Concerte5 is also nice to but not as developed and a lot of extensions cost). Some people say Typo3 is much better, but I hate it for sites or blogs, the interface is annoying and I can make a much better site with using Wordpress and extensions.

        You need to find a Good host with decent PHP and SQL preformance otherwise even with caching load times will be slow. I would stay away from Godaddy for sure. DreamHost, HostGator, Rackspace (expensive) all seem to be good.

          NTG is a Rackspace partner, so if you want it through them, which is a great service, it'll be cheaper.

            Still way more expensive than something like HostGator at ~$4.00 a month with great service. Rackspace is great but it's way overkill for most things. Mine runs great on Hostgator and even has SQL heavy stuff on it Such as vTiger and a Inventory tracking system.

              I also suggest WordPress as it is one of the easiest CMS/blog platforms to use.

                Do any of the multitudes of options support code tags to format code readably?

                There are plugins for that. More than one. I am currently using this one.

                The plugin home page is in Chinese.

                    Thanks everyone, especially @JaredBusch. I can't thank you enough 🙂

                    I'm still coming to terms with the fact that you spooled up a testing ground for me to tinker with!

                      Wordpress is an awesome platform. It's free and easy. More websites than you might think are built on it.

                          Waiting on the DNS to propagate the new subdomain was the longest part of the entire process.

                            When I use CloudFlare, adding a subdomain only takes about five to ten minutes before it works everywhere that we test.

                              At Scott's behest I moved my DNS to Cloudflare - super easy, and I was moved within mins! Solved all of my O365 issues.

                                        I wasn't trying to be funny. I was genuinely curious.

                                          it is a fine line between using the chat feature and posting in a thread something like this.

                                            Not even close to a fine line. It is an immature, annoying behavior. He posted in more than one thread questioning if @scottalanmiller was driving or not.

                                            @ajstringham needs to just shut up more, or barring that, use the appropriate feature (chat here, or even a direct SMS message as I am sure he has the number).
