If I can't show proficiency at using the tool, then it's probably not a good thing. It also shows that elaborate websites don't have to be the front door to a business.

If you have your own domain, it's up to _you_ to even respond to DMCA takedown requests (unless you've got your domain registered through GoDaddy, in which they might just illegally delete access to your domain, even though it's not their business to do so).

I think you've both highlighted important things - serious blogging means quality content and having your own domain does not ensure this. However, I think Aaron, that you do have a point. You can even get domains for less than $7 these days! Thanks for the input, Nina and Aaron.

In 2008, having a .blogspot.com URL seems a bit akin to having an @aol.com e-mail address.
