Having been involved in running a online store www.zipposuperstore.com for a few years, i decided to start my own blog site, so please understand this is just my opinion

Since starting Entrecard.com, i have seen a hell of a lot of blog sites lately. Some of them
have had outstanding posts where i have learnt a great deal. But one thing puzzled me?

With the price these days of domain names and website hosts, why are these great blogs on a free blogging site?

So i thought we would put together a little list of the pros and cons on joining a blogging site, which was where i originally started.

Joining an established blogging site like blogger. has plenty of advantages, especially for the blog novice. Sites that host a lot of different blogs often have very useful tutorials about building and updating your blog, and you are likely to encounter a very user-friendly software interface at an established blogging site.

In addition, these sites provide a kind of instant community of fellow bloggers who can provide advice, insight, and feedback. These established sites often keep directories of their members, which can be great news for your traffic logs because it means that other bloggers on the site will find out about your pages.

However, there are also some downsides to linking up with a large blogging site. By posting within the established templates of a site like blogger, you run the risk of having your blog look and feel like everybody else’s.

The blogging community is very much about the creation of distinctive sites and the development of individual voices, so it makes plenty of sense that many bloggers would shy away from the standard look and feel that these blogging sites often promote. Many bloggers feel that the content of a blog is what makes it distinctive, not the look of the blog.

But with the features, ease of use and the Wordpress community, much more can be
done now to enhance and market your blog site. Throw on a few Adsense ads and it will pay for itself within the first few months. There are many ways you can also display ads on your site and make even more money online.

Give Wordpress a go and you will be amazed at the results you will get. It cost us less then $20 to get started. and thanks to Entrecard.com we made $8 last month through this blog site alone just using Google Adsense , so there is the years hosting paid for already.
