How to Choose a Blog Hosting Service

How do you choose a blog hosting service? By research and word of mouth. I have tried TypePad, WordPress.com, and Blogger.com. I think the determining factors are whether or not you intend to use a free hosting service or pay a fee. I think Blogger.com is very easy to work with, and it is free. However, not everyone is satisfied with Blogger.com. It is good to research the positive and negative aspects of various hosting services. Here are a few places to begin:

• http://www.typepad.com/features/the-right-choice/ 

There are tons more articles on the Internet that you can read on hosting services. The best way to learn is choose one and get started blogging. You learn how to blog by blogging. It also helps to visit other blogs and forums and ask questions. Learn from other bloggers. 

Until next time,
