My firm started a blog in March 2009 using Blogger. The layout isn't fancy, but it is easy to read and use. There was absolutely no cost to us. Our only expense is using an affordable clip art service to obtain royalty free images to accompany the articles. Despite its short existence, we have been profiled by the CT Law Tribune, local newspapers have quoted our articles and we have been featured as "Blog of the Week" by various websites. It has led to several client referrals from other attorneys. There are many things you can do to make your blog work. Spending 2 grand on design is not one of them. I agree with you completely.
