Wow, that's just what I would say. I use to love drawing until I realized that I can't draw. But I might give Flash a try and see how that works.

Both of you, do yourself a favor and visit this site: Your Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad

If you can look through those and still think you're not good enough to do a webcomic, you're not paying attention.

And Mr. Robert? "I use to love drawing until I realized that I can't draw." In my opinion, the only words worth reading in that sentence are "love drawing"...that alone is reason enough to do it.

I absolutely stink at lots of things I enjoy...doesn't stop me from enjoying them.

I understand what you mean but I'm no longer passionate about. But thanks for the link, I added it to my Favorites.

1) re: artistic ability .... xkcd.com

2) Anyone can blog. The barrier to entry is very low. Podcasting requires more skill, effort and commitment. You can get more traffic from iTunes alone, but you will have to work much harder to do it.

I'll have to ask you, what all did you do to post your podcast?

My blogging is done on a site I share with some friends, and we've been talking about doing a podcast as a group. I'd really like to use podcasting as another vector for promoting our group as a whole, but my biggest concern is that we spend a lot of time refining it, and then no one bothers to listen, and it fails completely.
