Blog Hosting Solution
I would encourage those of you that blog from the free sites to consider looking for your own home. Find the domain that you name and your readers recognize as you. For a new starting blog you need a blog hosting solution. And I encourage you to find someone that provides wordpress hosting. Wordpress is an excellent tool for bloggers as so many of us have discovered. An alternative platform bloggers might consider using is Moveable Type hosting.
Once you leave the world of free blogging, blog hosting is extremely important. A stable host keeps your site up for visitors. Nothing is more frustrating than attempting to leave a comment on someone’s blog and the words are dumped into the nether by an unstable host. Take the time to shop as many blog hosting choices that you can identify. Look at the blogs you enjoy the most and give you little trouble as a reader. Ask the blog owner who they use. This could help you pick a winning host.
If you choose wordpress hosting find a company that will load wordpress for you. My host does and I find this so convenient. I never have to worry about upgrades. Any patches or updates happen seamlessly without me knowing about it. Blogging bliss. Let me tell ya.

ECL - If you want to get famous like kennysia, then get your own domain. Advertiser pay better too.

i am using wordpress but i need to learn how to make the FONT size bigger .. can you help me, MR. SA??? *puppy face*
SA: I am not very html savvy. *looks at puppy face*
But when I need some help I go here. In fact they have a tutorial covering fonts. Wish there was an WordPress addon (and there may be one) to handle this more simply that fiddling with all of that html code.
