So a blog template, for instance. And then it’s just about the content. Your writing is your own, but photos would have to be licensed under Creative Commons or company images. The same goes for music, video etc. It’s better to err on the side of caution, although the first action would probably be a takedown notice.

Register a domain, get yourself a WordPress installation and start blogging.

I have my blog at http://www.ph9.com and those folks helped me get through.

You just have to stick to the Terms of Service etc. of the service provider your blog is hosted at.

Only if you publish non-original content you have to follow copyrights and licence terms which may involve asking or paying the original creator for permission to publish “it” on your blog.
