Right after WordPress came out with version 2 of their outstanding blogging software, I learned that they offer free hosting for blogs at WordPress.com. So, to test out version 2 without having to install it myself and go through the inevitable rounds of upgrading and security patching, I signed up for a free account and started my test blog at Random Neurons Firing.

One of the great things about WordPress.com is that all the upgrades are handled by skilled technicians who understand the software. If you want to create a blog with multiple categories and more features than what you can get with Blogger.com, WordPress.com may be just what you are looking for.

I highly recommend WordPress.com.

Earlier today, I wrote an article about using blogging to help bring more visitors to your website — for free. I’m sure that’s something that everyone with a website would like.

Follow the steps in the article:

How to get more visitors to your website for free

If you are technically inclined, it will take less than an hour to do this and you should see more visitors to your site in the next couple of weeks or less.

If you are not particularly technically inclined, follow the steps just as they’re shown and you can do this in less than two hours. I think you’ll be happy with the results of such a small amount of time and effort.

If you’ve been having a hard time getting your site listed in the major search engines — Google, Yahoo, and MSN — this technique has been known to be effective in getting your site spidered and indexed in under a week.

Of course, you have to do your part and create quality content for both your website and your blog on a regular basis, but this will help you get into the search engines or get higher placements in the results.
