SOCIAL: Blogging Questions

[Catherine Rauschuber]

Hello O' Wise and Web-Saavy Socialites ~

I'm putting together a blog that will launch in a month or so, and I have a
few very basic questions as I start along this path.

The blog will be called "SF Polichicks" and will feature all-women writers,
from across the political spectrum writing on SF political and social issues.
I reserved the wordpress blog URL about a year and a half ago, but haven't
used it yet.

My questions are:
1.  Is the Wordpress blogging platform the best choice?  Or at least almost
the best choices?  What are the major downsides and upsides?
2.  I would like to include an ad revenue componant.  Does anyone have any
good 'how to' resources about creating/maximizing blogging revenue?  I know
nothing at this point...  However, I have a lot of solid and well-known
women writers lined up, and I have a feeling that the blog readership could
potentially be high... so I figure I should at least this to generate tiny
bit of little pocket change :)

Any and all feedback would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
Cat
