Personal blog? Not monetising it? Go .co.cc because free is awesome.

....and I like cocc after my name. Makes me sound like a porn star.

My recommendation is always "get the best name that fits your site's content that you can afford". If you can afford it, then try to find your name in the best extension (.com if you are in the US, your local ccTLD if you are elsewhere). If you get a good name in a relevant extension, then it will be a good investment even if you stop blogging in a month.

Other good names are YourFirstName + s + Blog.com (AndrewsBlog.com for example) or if you are doing video blogging, you can try to find out who owns YourName.TV or YourNameTV.com

.ME isn't bad, but it's not really time tested like .COM.

Best of luck!

Might as well get the best .com you can, if you're building a decent blog you should build up the value of the .com too.. You never know what you're going to do with it in the future

I suggest .com

I went with .com for my personal blog and most other sites I own. If you do a search on Goggle you'll notice that most .com sites will rank higher then .net, .org and others. I would also recommend that you use WordPress because WP blogs also tend to rank higher and have lots of theme choices.
