Rkelly,

Take a look at this thread by Snow http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackha...-overload.html

The thread has some themes and scripts that you can download for free. That should get you started.

As for content do your keyword research and figure out which niche you want to focus on, then monetize, then drive traffic.

Also check this thread out from Harro http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackha...ing-money.html
it relates to what you're trying to achieve with your blogs.

You just have to upload the theme into the theme folder.

Also, what is the general niche of your blog going to be? We might be able to help you develop ideas of how to monetize the blog if we know what you'll be writing about.

Just use Wordpress.com or Blogger.com to get started blogging, then move on to your own hosted one.
