Enough procrastinating about if and when, your going to get a new blog. You will never be more organized and ready to get your blog than, you are today. The two big questions for you now are: How to get a Blog and Where to start a Blog?
How do you Blog again?
You probably remember from our previous article:
What’s a blogs and How do you blog? That a blog is simply, a website that requires no computer coding for any type of digital media, to be added to it.
We also discussed that software is used, that is similar to a word processor, only it saves a URL, or web address, for your published article, video, pictures, etc, making it available to be found, through search engine listings, or it’s URL, on the web.
If you need some extra info, why not check out: How do I start a Blog? from a site called Blogging Basics 101.
The next part of the puzzle for you: is How to Get a Blog?
You really have three choices when it comes to how to get a blog.
- A free blog
- A group blog where you publish one off blog posts
- Your self hosted wordpress blog.
When it comes to How to get a blog, why not start with a free blog from Google’s Blogger Network. If you already have a gmail, email address, it will take a couple of minutes to get it up and started. If not, it still is only a matter of filling out a few questions. You can write a few articles, see exactly what it’s like having a blog. Most bloggers with WordPress web hosting blogs, will also have a free Blogger blog as you are able to use it to link to articles on your main host wordpress blog. In the early days of blogging, links are the thing you need most. More about links a little further down the track.
