I practice what you preach: Though I run a brand consultancy, I use my blog strictly as a personal soapbox for stimulating marketing discussions. Because of this, I use my 'unique' first and last name, www.josiahslivingston.com as my domain name which I redirect to my blog. My agency J. Livingston Marketing Group, is hosted on a separate site with a corporate url. I therefore have a distinction between my personal brand and corporate brand. Of course, I've had issues with my unique name being difficult to spell... LOL Great post Dan.

When you host your blog using a service, then it's yours and you can use any plug-ins and templates you want, as well as do a custom template. @Joe – when you use .wordpress.com it’s not as professional and you don’t “own it.” When you host your blog using a service, then it’s yours and you can use any plug-ins and templates you want, as well as do a custom template.
