However due to the popularity of the .com (popular for online business) it might be hard to get the .com of your choice especially if you want your blog domain to include popular keywords or phrases.

Local Hosting may be a factor too if your blog is used to promote your business. I recall a press release where UK hosters with a company called 1&1 had lost position in google's local search because their IP range was outside the UK. Some good advise on Domain Names there.
