10 free blogging tools that every blogger should have.

1. Twitter (twitter.com)
Twitter is a way to build a following online using micro blogging

2. BlogCatalog (blogcatalog.com)

3. Google Analytics
If you self publish your blog which I feel that everyone should, google analytics is free and easy to use and gives you more than enough stats

4. Digg (digg.com)
A way to promote your story, look at it as free PR.

5. StumbleUpon (www.stumbleupon.com/)
Promote what you like online.

6. Jott.com (jott.com)
Blog, reminders, email, interact with other online software from your cell phone.

7. Gmail.com (gmail.com)
If you self host your blog, this is the BEST way to manage your email.

8. Your own domain name (only 10.00 a year) (godaddy.com)
Stop with all the I-think-I-want-write.blogspot.com
Be original, your domain name has to be easy to remember not a perfect match. Use your name, come up with some silly, think out of the box, tntwritingskills.com... see I just came up with that and it is available! (tnt=explosive)

9. Google Reader (reader.google.com)
I read more than 5 blogs a day. Just give me the meat and potatoes, probably the best RSS feed reader out there.
