Blog Experience Wanted

There are openings here - unpaid openings, of course - for anyone with experience creating a blog, following a blog, subscribing to a blog, or even just regularly reading a blog. As a tyro in the process of setting up a blog, there may be substantial need for guidance - did I pick the best site on which to blog? (Blogspot)

What is the better choice for our team members - subscribe or follow?
What are the comparisons of subscribe and follow that the readers need to know, to choose?
What is the best subscription service? (There are about half-a-dozen offered.)
What are the limitations of blogspot that are going to prevent us from accomplishing the stated (or unstated) goals of the blog?
Are there free sites with fewer or less intrusive limits?

I think you get the gist of what we need to know - and if you know, please comment!

Or, better yet, ask to become an author on the blog - even if we move it to a different site - and tell us the things we need to know, in a single, gigunde article, or a series of articles.
