Well, it has been nearly two months of blogging and I am enjoying the whole blogging thing. I hear many people talking about how bloggers should get their own domain name/website and get off the .blogspot.com asap. I was just wondering if it was really worth investing the 5$ a month (I know its cheap, but I like to horde my money unless its for a good investment). What are the benefits of your own domain other than people taking you more seriously. Do you get more traffic? I don't understand why I should be getting off the whole .blogspot.com thing. Also, how soon do you think I should make the switch, if at all...like is there a turnaround point where I could get tired of blogging? Any and all help is much appreciated.
