Blog hosting
If you want to join the ranks of bloggers you will have to find good blog hosting first. In case you are not a an experienced webmaster already you might want to find a host that allows easy one click script installation of your blog. Most of the blog hosting providers in my web hosting reviews offer this service in the Fantastico script suite. The blog scripts currently included in this installation service are B2Evolution, Nucleus, pMachine Free, and WordPress. By the way, if you haven’t realised already this blog runs on wordpress.
Other important things you need to look for in a blog hosting provider are bandwidth/transfer, uptime, storage and all the other usual goodies like email/webmail, databases, supported scripting languages, .htaccess support etc. Many webhosts I reviewed have very generous bandwidth and storage allowances and unless you run a very popular blog (and I mean very popular) these hosts will meet most blogging newbies requirements.
