blog vs. website?

I realize I am not a blogger...some may blog daily and I am lucky to blog once a year.  I want to have a place to show my art.  Maybe I need a website.
I look on this blog and see that the text just doesn't show up.  What's up with that?  Will I write all this down and no one see it?
Frustration abounds.  So I tried to set up a wordpress blog site, just as tricky.  I wish I could figure this stuff out.  Maybe it's the cold invading my head that's keeping me from the figuring out part.
Sigh. 
Done.
