Questions on setting up my own blog

I'm interested in setting up my own permanent political blog. I have a pro-Bush site, although not technically a blog, was viewed as one by the Dan Rather types.

What about blogspot? Kerry Haters used that platform?

And blogspot is now--according to their site--starting thru google, allowing ads where the blogger can get few nickels for the blogger. (I have no plans to quit my day job, so if the $$ from such a site get my kids an extra Christmas present, that's fine.)

Or should I buy software and buy a domain? I really like Crush Kerry as a site. (And as a medium).

And if that is the way to go, what software would I use?

This is what I had up for the campaign. Liberals who came across it referred to the site as "pathetic," and the webmaster (me) as a "loser." So it was pretty effective!

Try Blogspot.com. Free, easy to use. Nothing wrong with renting a domain name. Don't know if you'd want to incur the expense of getting hosting and buying design software etc.

Actually, through http://www.mysitespace.com, you can get hosting for less than $4.50 a month and they've got software on site you can use. (Although you'll want to do what I did and download the free B2 Evo software.)
