If you want to be a blogger in other word if you want to write at least two or three times per week then you are a serious blogger. And the best way to personalize your blog will be by registering your own domain name and using the preinstalled blogging software such as Wordpress. So your blog address could be domainname.com instead of yourname.blogspot.com. Hosting a blog under your own domain name gives a more professional appearance.
If you have your own domain and hosting account, you can also choose to run professional blogging software on your own. Popular packages such as Moveable Type and WordPress give you the flexibility to tweak any aspect of your blog layout, add custom features, do search engine optimization and monetize your blog by incorporating contextual advertising.
Pictures, audio feeds and flash animation can all be uploaded using the tools that blogging software provides. With just a few clicks of the mouse and a bit of creativity, your blog can come to life. And be sure to tell the entire blogosphere about your blog by hooking up with Blogarama, BlogSearchEngine and the PingoMatic service.
Just be a little carefull. Remember that once you write something it will be very very tough to reverse the result. Some bloggers have made the mistake of writing too closely about work or personal topics. Your blog is a public journal that anyone can read, including your boss, your spouse, your mother, and that creepy guy down the block.
Good Luck with your new blog and dont forget to stop by at our forum.
