This is a complex issue and you're right to research it before making a decision you could regret. A lot depends on what you want to achieve and how much time you can invest. You have to enjoy writing and have something interesting to say [sounds easy, eh?]
My personal choice is integrating on one platform. But I've seen many successful blogs that 'link back' to the more static website. However those folks drive traffic by providing unique info that encourages interaction or some sort of transfer of knowledge (tutorial, review of tools, behind the scenes). Try these posts:
betterbusinessblogging.com/blogging-basics/business-blog-separate-domain-or-on-your-website/

searchengineguide.com/diane-aull/should-your-business-start-a-blog.php

Also look for web design blogs in Google Blogs search.

Question about blogging for SEO/Traffic (getting more folks to go to my website (not just my blog)).

Is it best to use a blogging service and point links back to your primary website or is the blog just functioning as content on your site where installing WP yourself will get you similar results?

It seems to me that the first option makes more sense, but while I have heard all sorts of benefits of blogging (for SEO) I have not heard this issue covered.

Thanks

I really like this advice. I have a relatively new blog and I know that if I plan on being successful then it's going to have to be through the long haul. Slow and steady wins the race. I just have to create a solid product (my blog) and grow my readers one at a time. Thanks for the article!

I agree that the calendar is a very good idea. I do it a bit differently, I use the Google calendar with email alerts, to make sure I don't forget to complete tasks which I need to do on a regular basis. Even if it is on a daily basis, like posting to one of my blogs. It stays in my email till I complete it and delete it, so it's much harder to forget!

I agree with that one. I've been trying to build my traffic slowly, but that doesn't mean I haven't "shot for the moon" on a few occasions. Its good to set goals that you can actually meet so you don't get discouraged, but its also good to set goals that you can ALMOST meet, just to keep you working that extra bit harder.
