Blogging Services Free vs Paid

Blogging is FREE better?
Not always, free is good for businesses looking for budget tight advertising. Free is quick and easy to use, you don't have to know html to have a free blog. You are in control but not having your domain name can be a little bit of a downer. Most free blog sites like blogger.com is yourname.blogspot.com which is not very professional, and the blogging can get a little confusing.
Blogging is PAID better?
Not always as well, paid is good for enhancing your themes and having someone customize you for a small price. You can make more money by advertising, and can have your own domain name as well. The down side is the hosting services are not always reliable. You must know html a little to understand the paid sites. This can be costly too. Having your site built for you can range from $275-$375 with extra charges for framed photos and quotes, linked side bars, and custom side bars. It might just be better to design the blog yourself if the confidence is high in your background of blogging.
