[...] Edit: Kyle MacDonald has posted some tips on starting your own trading blog. Admittedly, this is one of the few instances where setting up your blog on a free blog host can be more advantageous than forking out cash for your own host. Otherwise, I still think that it can be very painful to be tied down to an external service you can’t control at all. +Del.icio.us +Furl It +Spurl +Tag!RawSugar +My Web [...]
