Hi,
All of us already have the necessary equipment to start a blog as we are already accessing the Internet for our emails or just surfing the Internet.
Basically, you need a PC and a broadband link to the Internet!
You need not have a powerful or latest model PC or notebook (or netbook, compact notebook for surfing the Internet, cheaper version of the standard notebook with no frills like no CD player). Hopefully, you are not using dial-up connection but if you do, it is still workable but may be less productive if the website is full of images and graphics as the loading is likely to be slow.
My Philipino housekeeper blogs and she was using a Pentium 3 notebook on my broadband access to the Internet and it was acceptable.
Besides the hardware, all you need then is to sign up for a FREE ID and Blogging facility like Blogger.
Why pay for blogging?
Wait until you are an expert and you want to take it to the next level; ie making money by blogging!
Today, I have about 9 free blogs and 1 paid blog but I make Google Adsense income from all of them.
So if you are going to use Blogger, then you will need to register for a Gmail Id before registering for a Blogger account.
You need not use the Gmail Id for your emails if you already have an old established email account like hotmail.
So take your first step and get registered to Gmail and Blogger now!
David
