I'm ready to enter the blogosphere and could use any guidance about pros/cons on different formats, approaches etc. For example, I understand I can have Wordpress as part of my site but Blogger is a stand alone. Is one approach better than the other? Goal is expanded name as expert/topic recognition, increased connections and traffic to my website. What am I unconsciously incompetent about in this area.
