So, my experiments to determine whether blog.co.uk is a viable business blogging platform have grinded to a halt.

NOT A GOOD BUSINESS BLOGGING PLATFORM
I'm going to have to say "No, blog.co.uk is not a viable business blogging platform". It's a combination of two reasons.

While the use of your own domain name is available, you can only use a domain name registered/purchased through blog.co.uk. You can't purchase a .co.uk domain name and when trying to purchase a .com domain name I was faced with a purchasing process that was written in German.

Next is customisation. It's design and layout options are simply not flexible enough for a commercial blogger that may look for scalability in their their blogging platform.

A BRILLIANT PERSONAL BLOG PLATFORM
I will say you'll be hard pushed to find a better personal blogging platform that blog.co.uk

So, that's it. I guess I'm done with blog.co.uk - I came, I saw, I tinkered and I bought a bloody pro account! But it's simply not going to cut it as a commercial/business blogging platform.
