Why Blog?
Blogs have become quite popular and the "in" thing for communicating and building relationships. Unfortunately, they can be a bit on the technical side to set up on your own hosting. This has led to a lot of people using services like Blogger and Wordpress.com because you could get a hosted, easy to use blog for FREE. This has been a great solution for people that want to try blogging but it has some drawbacks.
