You want to blog, but you don't know where. Here's an article that attempts to help you with some basic guidelines.
 Blog Q & As
There are many blog hosts, applications and software systems available to people who wish to start their own blogs. Do a search and check out each one's features. Depending on your requirements, here are some points that you need to consider when choosing where to blog: - Purpose - What are you planning to use your blog for? If it's for personal use, you may not require a lot of functionality and features. On the other hand, if you wish to set up a group blog, you should look for a blog host/system that has administrative functions that will allow you to add authors/bloggers and moderate posts.
- Technical Mastery - How good are you with the computer and the internet? If you're not sure what FTP, cgi and CHMOD mean - and you don't really want to bother with them - then you should choose a blog host/system that requires the least possible technical requirements to set up.
- Value - Many blog hosts/systems are available for free. However, there are those that offer upgraded or premium versions with additional features/functions. You can always try the free version first before paying for any upgrades.
