    I tried this on twitter yesterday and got a 50/50 response so I want to poll opinion here if you'll indulge me;

    do you go for

    a subdomain ie: http://blog.yourphotodomain.com

    or

    http://www.yourphotodomain.com/blog

    Please vote in the poll - Cheers.

    Do your blog. or /blog ? 5 votes

    yourphotodomain.com/blog
    If you want to promote the blog directly, the former.

    If the blog is merely a tag-on to your site it doesn't really matter either way...

    (nothing saying you couldn't set the site up to link both to the same place though? Publish it from /blog and create a subdomain forward to that area)

    I'd agree. Why do you feel the need to have blog in the title?

    baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I guess.

    Its a good point.

    I don't think I need a web site as in a top level domain thingy www.whatever.com so maybe i'm just complicating things by thinking I need a blog somethingorother or somethingorother blog.

    I'd agree too. If I had to I'd go for the 2nd option, but if I was going to create one, I'd register pullandbang.com/ie or whatever. I wouldn't mention blog at all.

    Same as above, just direct people to yourphotodomain.com and have a ling there to blog (so it'd most likely go to yourphotodomain.com/blog, but it could go anywhere -it doesn't matter! Won't affect your Google juice too much either way

    Ditto. Leave out the blog. It only puts people off :p.

    If the main idea is to have a blog then really it's best if it's at yourphotodomain.com, if it's an add on to your existing site then I'd probably go for blog.yourphotodomain.com, seems tidier that way.
