Hey guys. I'm looking to start a Blog, and I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience in it?

I'm currently using GoDaddy for my Domain, but the templates they provide just aren't feeling right. You have to go to about three different steps just to upload an 'article' which is a hassle.

I was wondering if I could speak to someone who Blogs, or knows about it, that would be willing to help out?

Not that I know much about blogging, but Wordpress is probably your best way to go. It's probably the most used. Check that out.

I've never used Wordpress, but I have heard it's good.

My question is..Is she able to log in and post, and others can comment? Currently, with GoDaddy, I have to go to GoDaddy, go to the blog section > edit the blog > preview the blog > publish the blog and that is tiresome to go through so many steps when I should be able to just 'post' a blog on my site.

By being able to just 'post' I mean similiar to that of TTG when you make a new thread. Only my thread would be an article. Similar to that of TTGs news feed. A list of the articles with a preview picture(if there is one) and a small bit before you click it and view it.

I'm doing it for money or anything(though, it is a bonus). I just like to type, and I feel most of the Blog will end up being short stories or something..

Still, I started with GoDaddy and used their Website Builder which turned out to be a terrible mistake. Now I have to jump through hoops to convert to Wordpress.

I used GoDaddy as well for my web hosting. I bought myself a domain as well for a good price as there was a deal going on at that time. I built my site on GoDaddy at first thinking it would be okay to run but monthly bills was coming in and couldn't pay for the monthly bills so I decided to move onto Weebly and they have Blog Themes. It has a HTML/CSS Editor so if you're into coding give it a try. Also for Weeblty you have to pay for the Register/Sign in feature - it's great but it's a lot to run monthly.
