I have never had a blog. Never needed to. Never had a reason to.

But now I have an actual reason to have a blog. It's because I want to put a few thoughts in one place. and online because the place where I might be will be drastically different to where I am now.

I am wondering what people who may have had a much better experience of blogs think. I would like someting where I can write each day but also categorise those entries into different 'tabs' or 'folders'.

I would like something where there is a main page, and tabs on the side. do i have to set up an actual website for this or can I make a blog that will do the same thing?

I am not going to sign up to umpteen number of different sites to find what i want, so if you have any advice about a good site to use, please let me know. If you use blogs, give me a link and I'll check out yours.

I'm after something kind of specific for a long term blog, it doesn't have to be free (but that would be nice).

cheers in advance for any help :)
