Blogging is a way to express personal thoughts, feelings or business ideas and recommendations.  The fact is, blogging is now a viable source of information on the internet.  While most bloggers have their own web site and domain name, all  you need is an account with a blog provider.  Many providers offer free space on their sites. Listed below are a couple sites that offer FREE space but have limitations compared to that of having your own domain and site hosting which is better left for another subject:

• WordPress.com – This is one of the most noted FREE WordPress sites, and you save yourself most of the technical work but has its limitations as opposed to installing the Wordpress.org script on your own host.
• Blogger.com – Very easy to use and a great place to get started but also consider the limitations.
