What’s Blogging
It’s easy to get bewildered when it comes to the internet, it seems like there’s a new trend popping up almost everyday. Between Facebook, and Tweeting, it is very easy to feel overwhelmed and while I do not pretend to be an expert about all things net, I am able to help answer the question : what is blogging?
Blogs started as online books, a web log ( blog ). For the most part it started as a way for folk to have their own website online and share their thoughts and experience with anyone that might be interested. Over the last few years though more and more folk have learned that having a blog can also help them make some cash on the internet.
there are plenty of places where you can start a blog absolutely free some of the most well liked are Wordpress.com, Blogger.com, Squidoo.com, HubPages.com. If you want to learn more just try a search online . These places will permit you to line up your own blog for no charge.
The actual steps may vary slightly from one place to another, but here is a helicopter view of the basic steps you will take to line up your own blog :
1. First you will sign up, at that time you will be asked to pick out a name for your blog. It can be anything you would like it to be, Cathy’s Kittens, or Sally’s stitching, for example. Just pick something that you like and reflects the nature of your blog.
2. Once you’ve signed up you can pick out the theme you wish to use. A theme is just the template for your blog. They come in all types of styles and you will find many of them for free . Just perform a search for themes online and you can see what I mean.
3. Take 1 or 2 minutes to get yourself up to speed with the theme and how it functions. It is not hard, but you want to be snug so you don’t miss any great options you may have.
4. Start to make posts to your blog. Every time you write an article for your blog it’s called a post. Most blog themes will enable you to simply upload photographs, videos, and music. They can also have beneficial features like spell check.
Once you have got your post looking just the way that you need it, you can click the ‘publish’ tab and your post will be uploaded to your blog so all your visitors can read what you have written or look at your photos.
