    Go to blogger.com and open a blog. Just follow the instructions and you will have a blog.

    Ahh! thanks alot for the help.

    It helped me alot. But i cant use Blogger's blog :S. I will try using a blog @ mywebsite.com. Beacuse Blogger's blogs are blocked for Pakistan.

    Which Blogs software is the best? And the other question is that i have a domain > webmastershock.com < . Is this eligible for a webmasters blog?

    thanks

    Any domain can have a blog on it. It comes down to what your hosting provider allows. If your provider has MYSQL + PHP support then you would definately want to look at Wordpress.

    It is very easy to install and many folks here use it.

    Hope that helps.

    You have some error on the domain, looks like a MySQL issue. Are you trying to install a blog but cant?
    If you need a good host call me 0321-2330244 , im from Pakistan as well.

    What do you mean by personal blog. You can have anyone signup on your blog which will make a big difference in traffic. You will get posts by other people which will help you increase content. I think you should go public rather than personal.

    If you are going to be a real blogger. Get hold of WordPress. It's the best piece of blogging software that you can find today.

    One of the main things is that it has lots of plugins, and you'll see they'll come to useful.

    You can really pick out any domain name that makes sense for your blog.

    If you have a good cpanel from your host, there should be something called Fantastico. Click that and you will see a bunch of blog/CMS options that Fantastico will install for you. I have tried Wordpress (this one is THE standard for blogging) and also B2Evolution, which I like because it is very customizable. Both are good.

    WordPress is usually much easier to manage than b2evolution.
    b2evolution is good, but lack plugins.
