Quick question about creating a blog

I have a website for my mobile beauty business and there is an option to add a blog, it's a weebly site.

I wanted to start a blog about nail art designs and beauty products, am I better to do it as part of my origional site or to do it as a seperate blog on blogger or something and just link it across.

Thanks

    Firstly I'd ditch the Weebly and get a proper site/domain.

    Re the blog, I would include it as part of your site

    I'd agree with Andy on both points.

    A proper domain will give your business a more polished look - although I believe Weebly do allow you to point an external domain at their hosting, so there may be no need to change hosts (no experience of Weebly, so I don't know what reliability is like).

    As to the blog, definitely put it on your site - regular updates of the blog will provide you with fresh content, which the search engines love, rather than a static site that hasn't changed for yonks.

    My site is created on weebly but I do have a proper domain name for it, it's just host by them and created on there.

    I will put the blog on my website then

    Weebly isn't going to look professional though, regardless of where it's hosted. Have you thought about converting to Wordpress as a CMS (would also solve the blog issue)?
