What is the best way to start a blog?

I personally don't think there is such a thing as a best way to start anything.

There are better reasons, there are better topics, better tools etc. but there is no best way in general.

So if you WANT to start a blog you should ask yourself few things:
1. Why do you want to start a blog?
2. What do you want to write about?
3. How skilled are you with online editing tools?
4. How much time per day/week/month are you willing to dedicate to blog writing?
5. What do you expect to gain or achieve?

Based upon your answered you can then determine your starting point and your goal. The maybe tricky part would be t determine the path in between, but hey that path is really flexible and can be adjusted along the way.
So if you start on a free platform that doesn't require a lot of editing knowledge and is really user friendly, and decide along the way you want to switch, that is totally ok and doable in short amount of time. If you decide you want to switch topics that is doable too you just have to adapt, or create a new page and see how it goes.

The one thing though you have to be prepared to invest some time in setting all that up. It is not a once in few months work, it is not even once per month. If you want it to really be successful it has to be daily, or at least few times per week. And if you want to take it a bit further, you should definitely analyse the data that you get from your traffic analyzer and put that towards improvement.

Common Pitfalls

Don't get discouraged with all those additional things like promotion, seo, traffic that can make your blog so much more successful. Yes, you should read about all those related topics but it is not something that should prevent you from starting and upgrading bit by bit.
