Blogs & Blogging
From A Stand-Alone Blog Or Your Own Website
It is pretty well accepted these days that everyone who runs an online business should blog. It is a great way to promote what you are doing and it is also good for SEO. But setting up a blog, even on a free blogging site, isn’t always easy. Choosing the right site, whether to use Blogger, WordPress, LiveJournal, or your own website, isn’t an easy decision and getting it wrong could have serious consequences.
You may think you have nothing to say, but you do. You may think no one will be interested, but they will. And, just as important, search engines love blogs. It means new, relevant, content on your website or on a site that links to your website. These are all good things!

Sometimes you want more capability, and flexibility, than the traditional free blog or journal sites offer. Sometimes you need more support than you can get from a free site where you are pretty much on your own. The solution may be a suitable paid site. You can accomplish this in one of two ways; get your own hosting and set up a copy of WordPress (it’s free!) and do it all yourself or have a look at the offerings on these three sites:
MSMOsites — more elaborate sites like ours.
Amazon Affiliate Websites — affordable blog with an affiliate bonus.
Wizard’s Place — Steve will work out something for you no matter what your budget.
