Blogging has become a huge phenomenon, because it gives every person a chance to express themselves to the millions of people surfing the net. Never before have individuals been able to have a voice able to reach as many people as today. The best part is that it is so ridiculously easy, anyone can do it!

The most popular blogging services today are definitely Blogger and Wordpress. I have to say that without a doubt, Wordpress proves to be the most flexible blogging platform that even “newbies” will have little trouble learning.

Regardless of your web site knowledge, you can create a Wordpress blog in mere minutes by taking advantage of their free blog hosting service. All you have to do is sign up, and you’re ready to go, and it doesn’t cost you a cent. I do recommend however that if you are truly serious about blogging, you should have your own hosting and domain name, but using the free blog hosting service is a great way to experiment and tinker with Wordpress risk free. Then, when you feel comfortable with it, you can proceed to invest in the domain and hosting.

Writer’s block is a common ailment among writers, whether it is a news reporter under a deadline or a student trying to finish a report. If you are a blogger, you may find yourself suffering from “blogger’s block”, the condition of not knowing what to put in your blog.

Your blog should feature your voice. It is easy to find reprint articles when you feel stuck, but try to avoid putting them in your blog. You can publish a reprint article on your website and create a blog post that links to it, but keep the blog content your own.
