The answer is YES!! While doing some very interesting research I came across a free weblog publishing tool from Google.   How easy is it?  VERY!

Okay so almost at the fun part of writing my first blog post.  As part of my research, I have decided to name my blog “The Interesting World of Mel”.  Google’s great tool also provides you with blog address URL and checks the availability as shown below:

As you can see folks with tools such as these, creating a blog and keeping it updated is not hard, so no excuses. Remember link building is a KEY factor in SEO, so get the ball rolling and make it happen!

Until next time fellow bloggers
