My wife tried to do an opinion survey yesterday but was unable to.  She got this error:

Our word filters are having difficulty with the last name Your. If you’ve made a mistake, please correct your last name and try again. If you feel you have received this message in error, please contact us at help@winfreestuff.com.

Sometimes it doesn't help when your last name is a noise word.

Time Warner, our cable company has offered for a couple months now Digital Phone.  For $35 a month, we get unlimited long distance, etc., etc.  I have Road Runner and cable with them and have had no problems whatsoever.  However, our phone company has been pricks to deal with.  There is wide gap in customer service between the two.  For example, when we moved into our house, the phone company needed 3 weeks notice and a 8 hour window of my “availability” to transfer service.  TW, on the other hand, did it the next day with a scheduled appointment in which they were right on time.

I want actually get the service for another 2 weeks because of the red tape it takes to transfer my phone number.

For the last 2 years my website had used as a custom blog implementation.  It was fun to write but was very basic and limited.  Consequently, I never leveraged the blog experience and updated it infrequently.  I think the major reason was the inability to compose (easily) offline and post later. 
 
dasBlog seemed like an obvious choice for me.  Its best feature was is its ability to poll an email account and then extract the contents, including images.
