Get Blogging!
Cooking blogs. Parenting blogs. Fashion blogs. Personal blogs. Since the term “blog” was coined 10 years ago, blogging has quickly gained a huge following. If you’ve been thinking about taking the plunge and adding “blogger” to your title, here’s a quick tutorial to help you get started.
First, choose a blog host. There are a number of free sites, including www.blogger.com, www.wordpress.com and www.blogster.com. Once you sign up, you’ll be able to choose a name for your blog, pick a template, add photos and personalize it. Most blogging sites are user friendly and walk you through the entire start-up process.
If the standard templates aren’t creative, cute or trendy enough for you, check out www.thecutestblogontheblock.com. The site offers free blog backgrounds and layouts, plus lots of great blogging tips, including how to create your own banner (located at the top of the blog and customizable with your own photo and text).
Once you’ve finished set up, you can write your first post, publish your blog and send the link to family and friends. It’s up to you how often you update, but the more you post, the more likely you are to gain a blog following. Visitors can post comments about your blogs, or, if you’re concerned about unwanted comments, you can enable comment moderation which allows you to view them before they are published.
What you write about is up to you. Whether you’re blogging to keep far-away family members connected, posting your own musings or hoping to become a blogging success, have fun. And remember, whatever you post the world will see, so don’t post content you wouldn’t want your co-workers, friends and family to view.
