I have signed up to Blogger.com so what was once was the news page(s) on my site is now my Blog! You can still access the news archive pages on the sidebar.
www.Blogger.com which was aquired by google, is free, and allows me to make posts to my blog and upload them quick and easy. At least easier then havng to mantain a bunch of html news pages.
The only forseeable problem I may run into is when it comes time to archive my blog entries into the News archive. But I'll deal with that when I need to.
