As you begin to grow your blog into something bigger, you are going to want to have an email address associated with your blog. You may have started out by using a free email account from Yahoo or Gmail. However, as your blog grows, it looks more professional to have your email address be your_name@your_blog .com. This way, every time you send an email to someone, you are in effect promoting your blog. Also, it can help to make your blog look more professional when you email with potential partners.
