If you’ve come to this site, you’re either someone who knows a lot about blogging; a little about blogging; or if you’re like I was less than a year ago, you just surf the internet and maybe even post a comment here and there, but don’t really know what is a blog or how they’re created, just that it’s different somehow from a forum.
How’s that for a run-on sentence??
I was encouraged to get into blogging by a seasoned veteran with a very successful blog. I was very dubious, mostly because I wondered if I really had anything worthwhile to say about [taijiquan and martial arts]. He said, “c’mon, try it, you’ll like it! ” He was right!
All this was made possible by a great organization called WordPress. Guess what? My blog costs me nothing! Except time and thought. But it’s worth it. I learn things, and perhaps someone even learns something from me. And it’s healthy to express yourself if done responsibly.
Well that’s my pitch. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to set up my very own blog and start communicating about what interests me. And all thanks to the good people at WORDPRESS. http://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging

You forgot to say: “If you’ve been thinking about blogging, now is your chance. Sign up for a free blog at wordpress.com”
Also, no problems in linking to other blogs or giving credit in posts via links. In fact, providing a link to another blog is one of the ways blogger’s thank each other for content
