Tips & Warnings
Consider things such as ease of use, installation and capabilities for addons and plugins when selecting a blog engine software. Always read reviews to help you decide what best fits your needs.
Some blog engines also allow you to place ads in the blogs, allowing you to monetize your blog-hosting system.
Be sure your Web host is OK with you hosting a blog engine, as it will consume a lot of bandwidth.
You can be held responsible for any post made using your blog host. Be sure to enforce content and look for posts that might cause you legal issues, such as libelous or threatening posts.
