how to start a blog

[Dragon's Tooth]

Hi all

I want to start my own blog but I've never really been involved in that side of the internet.

Mostly my question is can anyone recommend a good place to sign up for a free blog? I don't really want to pay any money at this point to run the blog but I'm hoping it will make me enough one day that my husband will get off my back about getting a real job. So therefore I need to start it with someone who will offer a means of making money through advertising, selling items or what ever eventually. I want to be able to offer video, images and downloadable items so that is a feature I need included.

So if anyone knows a good site they use or have experience with they can recommend I check out please let me know

cheers muchly.

i personally like wordpress (i self host) but i know that they offer free blogs using the same software at WordPress.com — Get a Free Blog Here i feel it's very user friendly and fun to use. my blog is The Cat's Reflection if you want to have a look.

thanks for that I will explore wordpress and see if its what I'm looking for. I actually have a blog with google ... but its just a blog about depression, anxiety and asperger's. What I'm looking for is something a bit more indepth I guess for another idea but thanks for the info.
