"buzz" blog gives you the
latest info with tips and tricks for maintaining your
blogger.com blog. Plus, you get very good
help for
creating and promoting your blog.

your main interest. It's better to get your own domain
name and a hosting service
because transferring a blog is extremely
difficult (you tend to lose your links, due to the name change
that would be required if you move the blog).

Reciprocal Linking
The following two sites help you get links to your blog

get a reciprocal link. This is a much easier way to do
linking than with regular web sites.
