    blogger.com is nice and simple, not as featured as the other providers, but its nice and easy to set up, and the templates are easy to fiddle or do yourself - so you can make it fit in with your existing site fairly easily. I use it for my blogs.

    You can publish to your own server, domain and directory of choice with blogger, you don't need to just link.

    Its fair to say blogger isn't as featured as wordpress and the like, but that's why I like it. :)

    I suggest Wordpress as well. You can have multiple blogs set up on your domain in multiple directories.

    Yeah - in the blogger settings look at the publishing tab and you'll see you can set up your domain details there. FTP address, password, directory etc.

    Hi, if you take a close look, having the blog on your domain, it's much more convenient to use wordpress, it also looks more professional and nicer:D

    Just create the folder www,mysite.co.uk/blog then install the blog software in that directory. You can also create a subdirectory on a server level so that you blog will be like this:

    www,blog.mysite.co.uk
