As long as your blog permissions are set to anything other than to only yourself, other people can read what you write in a blog. It's not where you write the blog, but rather the effort you expend on promoting and developing the blog which will determine how many people will see what you write. You can either run a blog-centered web site mostly by yourself or use a developer-hosted blog service to start a blog. If you want to create a web site controlled mostly by you (i.e. a stand-alone/self-hosted blog), then you would likely need money - $10 to $160 - to pay for a web host and/or domain name (prices vary regarding time range and offered features). You may need to purchase blogging software as well. There are some services that are all-inclusive - web hosting, domain name, blogging software in one package. See http://www.problogger.net/archives/2006/02/15/choosing-a-blog-platform/ for more details regarding your choices. This may be your best option if you want to help ensure that the blog stays active for a long time (provided that you can continually fund its existence). There are typically free options, which are developer-hosted blogging services, where most of the blogging functions are automated and provided by the blogging service. Rules regarding content may be more restrictive. You would have to check the site's policies regarding the use of their service to generate profit or advertise. Less web page coding skills are required. Also, visitors may need to be a member of the service and/or a connected "friend" in order to comment on content. Some blogging services (like Blogger, Wordpress, LiveJournal and Vox) allow multiple authors, so you can have more than one person posting blogs instead of just commenting on them. Social-networking sites have features that extend beyond just blogging and are geared toward connecting with other profiles. Investigate and register with one of the following services to begin creating blog entries: Free blogging services: Blogger/Blogspot (http://blogger.com ), Wordpress (http://wordpress.com ), Livejournal (http://livejournal.com ), Vox (http://vox.com ), Typepad (http://typepad.com ), Travelpod (http://www.travelpod.com/ ), Tumblr (http://www.tumblr.com/ ) Free social-networking services with blogging capabilities: MySpace (http://myspace.com ),Facebook (http://facebook.com ), Multiply (http://multiply.com ), Xanga (http://xanga.com ), Windows Live Spaces (http://spaces.live.com/ ), Ning (http://ning.com ). Bebo (http://www.bebo.com/ ) and Gaia (http://www.gaiaonline.com/ ) are sites geared toward teenagers. See these sites for general blogging tips. You would have to consult the Help pages of the blog site/platform that you choose for further service-related specifics: Problogger: http://problogger.net Daily Blog Tips: http://www.dailyblogtips.com/ Blogging Tips: http://www.bloggingtips.com/ You may want to check out http://blog-services-review.toptenreviews.com/ and http://social-networking-websites-review.toptenreviews.com/ which provides a listing of top services and features (excluding Y!360 from the blog list).
