  July 01, 2008 at 22:55 SoccerDad thinks ProBlogger is right on - use both. I love having my own domain for my blog, but using social media services to build the community is great.

  July 01, 2008 at 23:51 oro says but then again like one of your earlier guest posts says. You should be focusing on building your social media profiles before you need it
