Blogging has become a really popular phenomenon among fresh grads, students and even middle aged uncles and aunties
People are really very impressed by this concept of creating a blog and having fun by sharing their daily life with the world or just sharing the knowledge they have.
The things which come with having a blog are FAME and MONEY
In blogging you present your thoughts and knowledge or I should say you present yourself before the world and people get to know you and if you are able to attract a lot of readership then I can write that down for you that you will soon be really popular in the online world
The other benefit of having a blog is that when you have a lot of traffic, a lot of people are visiting your blog then you can monetize it by either selling products, selling ad spaces or partnering with an Ad network like Google Adsense or Media.net

It is my personal favorite and whenever anyone asks

will be like http://yourblog.blogspot.com and afterwards
if you want to be more professional then you can buy a
domain name and then associate it with your blogger
