Getting a blog!
There are many differnt places you can go to get a blog site!, literally hundreds! I would say that Movable Type, Blogger, and Wordpress are probably the big 3.
Each of these has their advantages and disadvantages. Blogger is definately the most intuative, easy to use, easy to apply ads and get started. The other two are a bit harder to get used to, Movable type took me about an hour to really get started but there is a lot to learn. If you do a google search on blog sites you will find millions of results, that can be hard to shift through so I have made it a little easier
FREE OR PAID?
You have the choice of getting a free site or paid site, Usually free sites come with annoying ads on them, not always, blogger is pretty good. The reason I paid is so that I can have the domain name of my choice. For example I paid to have www.bloggsense.com, if I had opted for a free site with blogger the adress would have been www.blogger.bloggsense.com. that's a little wordy, and you would probably never get any type in traffic. (It is said that 15% of people actually type adress names into the navigation bar when they are looking for something rather than searching. In other words, a good domain name is quit important, yahoo has a cool search tool that lets you search domains, just type Yahoo domains on google and you will see!
It's getting late, any questions are welcome, this was brief because I'm assuming most people already know this but I am more than willing to explain!

How much are you paying a month for your site, and who did you get it through?

Many times I tried to figure out, what are people talking about here and what they mean by saying stuff like that. And I realized that they just don’t have a clue about the topic themselves. It’s kinda strange. Anyway I have to say that you mast understand, what’s really doing on to comment things. Otherwise you will look and sound stupid.
