free blog service or blog on your own server ?

i want to add a blog to my site. I'm not sure whether to use a free service such as blogger.com or create a blog on the same webserver as my site is on.

Since my site has good linkpopularity, i want to take these benefits to the blog as well. I don't want to provide a additional "linkcampaign" to my blog.

what is the best option?
If i decide to put the blog on my server, does there exist any software for this?

Use www.wordpress.com on your own website. Never use the blogger servers to host your blog, always host it under your own domain name.

Um, incrediblehelp, wordpress.com is the hosted wordpress. wordpress.org is the dowloadable program you set up on your own domain. And yes, you want the blog on your own domain. That's actually been covered here on numerous blog threads, and here are a couple:

bj you know what I meant. Download the blog software and host it yourself.

I think even during set up on .com you are offered the option to host it yourself.
