I stand by my position.

Any development work you do on a free hosted blog is work that benefits somebody else in the long run.

Sure, you may benefit in the short run. But if you did that same work on your own domains, you'd get to KEEP the benefit, instead of letting it accrue to a domain somebody else owns.

I guess it all depends on your time horizon. If you're a fast buck artist, free hosted blogs can be a shortcut. But if you are planning for the long haul, they're a waste of your effort.
