How to start a blog
Find a decent blogging giver that appeal to you. Some may comprise MuseCrafters.com, Livejournal.com, JournalHome.com, Blogger.com, WordPress.com, TheDiary.org, Mindsay.com, Blog.com, Blogagotchi.com, Diaryland.com, and Blogdrive.com, weebly.com or Xanga.com. Most of these sites are pre-made with templates and push-button publishing that don\'t need much technical knowledge.
Once you sign up, you\'ll have an arcade of convenient templates to choose from. Select one and personalize it. Add your name, wellbeing, images, etc.
Add blogging freebies like buttons, images, blog chalks, i-moods, tag-boards (for example, myshoutbox.com), guest maps, guest books, comment boxes for readers\' input, etc.
Explore other blog sites that offer more features for a small fee, such as Typepad.com.
Make a decision on whether or not you want your blog to be confidential or personal: do you want any Internet visitor to be able to read your blog, or do you just want your friends and family to be able to read it? Most blog sites offer the aptitude to password-protect your available posts so only those who you approve of can view what you\'ve written.
Make a decision on how you want your blog to look. You can pick a color scheme and layout. Most sites come with a set of predefined layouts and formats that you can choose from, or you can edit your own.
After you\'ve set up your blog, write a few posts to test it out, and make any change to the layout or style that you see fit. At first, it will seem tough to figure out what to write, but once you get into a routine of daily blogging, you will find it addictive. Write about your day, your thoughts, events, ideas, fears, pleasures, the news, current affairs, art, or anything you are involved in!
Visit other blogs to build a blogging circle. When you leave remarks, add your blogging address so they can visit you too.
If you want to make your blog look more striking, there are some sites up that have many "skins" that might make it look better. One example is blogskins.com that also comes with Photoshop and HTML tutorials.
Publish your blog by sending the URL to your friends or publish the URL on your website. Add the URL to posts you make on other blogs. Its done..so simple.
