Most bloggers use amateur blogs as opposed to professionals, though I am not sure what a ‘professional ’ blog is. If you are blogging for profit, whether as an amateur or professional, then you are best advised to run your blog from your own website. This involves downloading the blogging software to your web space.
This however is a personal opinion, and many people prefer the simplicity of operating their blog from a blog host such as Blogger, for more detail visit www.bloggers-guide-to-profit.com run from Blogspot, or Wordpress from Wordpress.com. There is little to do other than to register and make your posts. The only negative is a lack of individuality and formatting of the look of the blog and the tools that you can use on it. The majority of people who use the internet for fun, as opposed to business, believe that they have few opportunities to make money from their blog.

As they do, you can cover your expenses very, very well if you utilize the m/netization possibilaties of blogs as they can be tsed.
To repeat, in order to do so to the maximum of your ability, you must run your blog from your own web host.

In fact you get many more benefits other than the possibility of profit by uploading blogging software to your web space (I am now going to use the term ?? website ’ for web space since that is more familiar to most people, though the terms mean different things). If your blogging software is to your own website rather than that that of a blog provider such as Blogger or Wordpress, you have a lot more flexibility in how you want to format your blog, and in the features contained within it.
Another is the possibility of adding links to any affiliate products you are promoting, and in fact links to anything you want your visitors to link to. These could include your websites or other blogs, in addition to adverts of various kinds.

You can use Photoshop or a clone to edit the graphics, mainly the header, to customize it exactly for you, and can also edit the entire html to render the template unique to you.
