This Blog is all about preparing you to learn how to make money Blogging. The more you know about Blogging the better you will be prepared. I say if you want to go the route of Blogging for a buck, than grab a mitt and get in the game by signing up for a domain name and hosting services for WordPress and get on with it. However, this is just not going to be the way it is for a lot of people. I think the most important thing you can do ……… is to start, somehow, someway! Here is a new way for new Bloggers. BlogHarbor.

BlogHarbor is a full service weblog hosting site powered by the Blogware platform from Tucows Inc. Here is a feature summary for the new Blogger. I’m just going to hit the highlights here for a full list of features check out the website here.

• Photo Album: Easily upload and manage your digital images. With automatic thumbnail generation and resizing and up to 2 GB of disk space, BlogHarbor Photo Albums are the best way to share your digital images with family and friends.
• Domain Name Mapping: BlogHarbor makes it easy to use your own domain name for your weblog address. You can even add business-class email for your BlogHarbor-hosted domain name.
• Category Support: Arrange your articles and photos by category, you can choose to let articles “bubble up” from a sub-category and appear on the Main Page, or your articles can appear only in their own category.
• Polls and Surveys: Polls and surveys are a great way to add interactivity to your weblog.
• Web Stats: BlogHarbor weblogs feature advanced Web Stats providing you with detailed information about visitors to your weblog, how they found you, and what they are reading on your weblog.
• File Manager: Upload Word files, PDF files, ZIP files, any type of file. You’re not limited to uploading images! The File Manager allows you to upload files to your weblog using your web browser.
• Trackbacks: See who’s linking to your articles, and notify other weblogs when you’re linking to them! Your articles will all have a Trackback URL which allows other bloggers to notify your site when they link to you. And you can enter a Trackback URL when you write an article on your site referring to an article another blogger has written – and your Trackback will appear on their article!
• Look and Feel: Customize the look of your blog using built-in themes. Advanced web designers can modify CSS stylesheets and HTML templates to make your weblog truly unique.

Again, these are just the highlights, there are many more, so check out BlogHarbor. It may be just the CMS (Content Management System), you are looking for.
