if you're using a blogging site, eg blogger, wordpress, ms spaces, etc.
it's worth considering hosting it on yr own domain.
cos the PR and alexa that you build up is locked to the domain.
once you've built up critical mass, it can be difficult to migrate it.
if blogging is intended to be one of yr main streams of income, i might even suggest starting out on yr own blog.
there're quite a number of bloggers drawing five figure incomes from a single blog, through adsense, affiliate sales, link sales, etc.
it's more difficult if you're on blogger.com.
you do know you can host a blogger acct on yr own server, right?
(though the domain still remains abc.blogger.com...)
