There are some standard ways to start a blog and depending on your needs there are some varying systems that you might look at as the best blog start out kit.

But, what is the finest for you and your website? Well may not what I think is the greatest for me. We all have different technical abilities and skills to fall back on. For me, I always start a new site with WordPress.org. To me, this is the best blogging platform above all others, but it does require several technical skills so if you are just starting out in the blogging world, it may not be for you.

Use a ready made hosted blog
Instead, use an off the shelf website on a hosted platform. The two biggest and finest known are Blogger and WordPress.com. With both of these, you might merely sign up for an account, choose a name for your site and then choose a template for your weblog.

Further down the line you can customise your website more, but this is enough to get your website running. So, which is the best?

Thinking of the future
Heaps of bloggers will look to blogging as a way of earning a bit more cash. For this, you may want to install Adsense blocks, include paid advertising or take part in paid posting schemes. And this is where the deciding factor as to which is thebest blog start out kit is.

If you sign up to WordPress.com (as opposed to WordPress.org, which you install on your own hosting) and take the time to read the terms and conditions, you will discover that you are not allowed to include paid advertising on aWordPress.com site.

So the best quick and straightforward website start out kit in my opinion is Blogger.

Starting with Blogger
Go to Blogger.com and sign up for an account, select you blog name and get blogging. I recommend it as a start up kit because it really is straightforward to use and once you are up and running the settings are simple to change to customise it for your own uses. There are also monetisation options to include your Google Adsense code very quickly so that you could earn commissions there.

But if you are wanting to really get into blogging long term then a domain name using a blogger subdomain does not look that good and give the impression you really want to give. But being the extraordinary tool that it is, Blogger has a way about that built in.

Flick through the settings and you will find that you could sign up for your own blog URL through the system, or use any URL you have registered elsewhere. In some easy steps you have your ownblog name, a layout that you want and opportunities to monetise the site. All in some minutes.

WordPress.com is good, but Blogger allows more. And that is why I count it as the best site start out kit!
