starting a blog

How would I go about starting a blog of my own? Do I have to buy one from someone else or is there a place where I can learn to start one myself. Do I need to have another site host the blog? I'm confused.

 

Go to Blogger.com and signup for a free blog

 

As RT said blogger.com will get you started.

If you want to control the complete show you need a domain name and a hosting account that offers free installation of some of the blogging scripts. Wordpress is very easy to learn.

 

If you're serious about being a blogger, I would get a domain of your own and a hosting account. Many hosts offer automatic installation of popular open source blogging tools like WordPress. If you want, PM me and I'll point you in the right direction.

 

If your just starting, as said above "Blogger.com" is a very got place to start and get your *Feet Wet*...

Sign up and start one and play around so you can learn a few things, then if you decide you want more look at others like Wordpress and such...

 

There is also blogsome.com It is based on the wordpress template and it is free.

 

PM me - I've helped numerous people start from complete scratch to create their own blogs.

 

If you choose blogger, you can add adsense add to it, but at blogme and wordpress.com, there is no way you can add adsense code to it. So choose wisely..

 

What about a WordPress plugin? Do you have to host it on your own domain to make this work (I've never used a free WordPress blog)?

 

At wordpress.com and blogme.com we cannot upload any plugin. Template also we cannot modified. So you have to host wordpress into your own domain..

 

blogsome is wordpress. It allows you to add adsense and modify template.

blogsome.com

 

But I think that google not allow free hosting except for blogger.com

 

Start blogging with blogcharm.com you can also make money through adsense.
