Dave, there are a lot of sites out there that will host and help you blog. Blogger is free, Wordpress is free until you add your own URL. Even our 4MySales system includes a blog feature. It is just a matter of finding the right tool that fits your needs and your budge.
The major difference in the ones that charge insane monthly fees is they also include content. But that content is typically just links and news snippets. It reflects none of your personality (which, IMHO, is one of the main selling points of a blog). If you don't, won't or can't add your own content to your blog, I suppose it might be worth paying someone to do it. But blog content devoid of personality defeats the prupose in my book.
Many of the free systems such as Blogger are not very flexible and of course you're tied to having "blogspot" or some such nonsense in your URL.
WordPress is Open Source software (i.e. free). Domain names and hosting are dirt cheap. I get all my domains and hosting from GoDaddy (a fine local Phoenix company with great SuperBowl commercials too!)
Blogging doesn't have to cost anything. But with the level of tech sophistication I see most days, I can see why agents get sucked in to paying.
I pay hosting fees. That's it. I had blogger for years and that was totally free. I didnt want their name in my url anymore so I am gone. Wordpress is helping me out now too.
David,
Yes, I would ask about www.blogger.com, I have that too, so I do not know if there is so much difference between yoours and blooger.com
Regards,
