Tweetdeck and Postperous?

[Bernadette Schuller]

I have been working all day on getting Tweetdeck situated so I don't have to log into every site to update, etc. Then this site Postperous.com is asking me to do the same thing through Tweetdeck. Does anyone have any advice? There's too much out there! And does anyone have a time guess-timate on putting a blog together? I have some great links to designs, Wordpress, etc., but need to know the amount of time I need to initially invest.
Thanks!
