There are many reasons to have a blog: to inform customers about new
products and specials, to share information and expertise with a worldwide
community, or to express oneself and communicate publicly. WordPress.com is
a free and flexible set of web-based blogging tools that can be used to
launch a new blog in minutes. The tools can then be used to personalize the
blog and update and improve it continually. In WordPress.com 2.5 Essential
Training , Maria Langer walks through the entire process of building and
maintaining a blog, from setting up an account to using advanced
