After you are sure what about your blog should be ( you personal favorite topic ) you have to make a decision about that, where you want to host your blog. The Master Question is - should I take a free blog-space or a provider where I have to pay for?

The answer is a question: Would you like to monetize your blog or not? If you make only a free or fun blog for yourself you can take a non-payed-blog-space like: blogspot.com, myspace.com, xanga.com, livejournal.com, vox.com, bravejournal.com, and blogsome.com

If you would monetize your blog I can only highly recommend you to look after a good provider that have many tools for bloggers. OK you have to pay some $ for it but you also will have the chance to make money with your blog.  Without your own site  like ´yoursitename.com´ you will not even have a chance to take part on many ´money 2 your blog´ options.

You will often read this:  Excluded Domains: myspace.com, xanga.com, livejournal.com, vox.com, bravejournal.com, and blogsome.com
