Why am I writing in English?

Ok, after some inconviniences at Live Journal I am back here, which was not so easy a task though. I can't see if it can check my errors. I guess it can't. Works fast though. LJ is not bad. But it was too slow for me. This one is surprisingly fast--connection or the engine? Among all search machines I still prefer Google--fast and finds exactly what I'm looking for unlike the others. Now Blogger service makes a good impression on me. May be one day I will find their browser usable. And don't forget the translator. Google rules! But there're still things I don't fathom. Gmail is fast, but there's too much things that I get lost in (unlike the simplicity of the search page). I don't quite understand the difference between the mail, the account and the view of the search page. What do I have to have initially the mail or the account to have the mailbox, blog, photo album, etc.?
