Before spending anything on a blog
WHY NOT TRY BEFORE YOU BUY?
Blogging is not for everyone so even $100 is too much if you don’t use it and keep it updated.
A blog needs to be kept current and you need to gather back links for it just as you do your website. I have seen many REALTORS® start a blog with good intentions only to abandon them for lack of time or interest.
Why not see if it is your cup of tea before you spend a lot of cash.
I agree with Jared. Wordpress is the absolute best IMHO and is free. You don’t even need to change the stock theme or templates until you are sure that blogging is for you. If you decide that you are really into blogging a designer such as Jared can do a nice blog design or a design to match your existing website. Then all you change is the templates which change the theme and appearance of the blog.
All of your blog post, comments and archives remain in tact.
I could go into it further but I really don’t want to highjack Jared’s thread so if you have more questions on starting a blog please start another thread and everyone will try to help I am sure.
