I would like to setup a blog for my wife and I..

I have done some searching and it looks like I should use Wordpress..

But I cant figure out how to get it to look similar to this

I like the picture on the right, color schemes, etc...

Can anyone help me set one up? I already have it installed on my server..

Well I own my own domain, and would prefer that I host it. That way I can change what I want to change

look into wordpress or movable type. there are tons of templates that you can use to make a site like that.

Yeah, B2 Evolution is more what I was looking for.. Luckily my Host had a "One click install" of it..

Very cool.. Thanks!

Looks like we might have tanked the original linked site :p

I've been meaning to work on my own blog template...Mario theme. If there's already one out there (16-bit versions), LMK please :)

I have one i setup on my site. I think it uses php and mysql and it wasnt hard to configure. I think its made by "b2 evolution" Im not sure, but there may be a 1 click to install in 1second thingie on your host, but it took me about 5min to get all up and running w/o the 1 click thingie.

The ATOT effect has killed that man's blog. Oh well. :D

I personally use plog but this WordPress app sounds interesting...

Well I personally hated it.. I ended up using B2 Evolution. But it might be because this is my first time even USING a blog.. I mean, I never have even read one.
