    Youre off to a good start but if you want to make anything out of your blog, do yourself a favor and get that domain you're thinking about. Only a few bucks a year will get you a more professional image rather than a blogspot subdomain.

    A blogger blog is a good place to start if you're new, but eventually you want to try and setup your own Wordpress blog. Wordpress is the best blogging platform without question! :)

    1.) Get domain (as mentioned above)
    2.) Fill it up with interesting, UNIQUE posts that people want and will come back for more
    3.) RSS Feeds
    4.) Get backlinks, advertise a lot

    If you're really serious about blogging...

    1.) Get a Wordpress blog and self host it
    2.) Get a custom design for it
    3.) Put ads up, maybe sell some links and monetize the blog

    Nice to see that you are trying to start blogging. I wish your all the best. But, try to get a own domain for better results.
