What's a writer? A blogger is a cross between an educator, a singer and an orator; each blogger 'owns these three hats' and 'wears' each of them during different moods. Another commonality between bloggers is: each blogger is looking for a market.
Pack your bags! If you identify yourself within the preceding paragraph you're prepared to start your journey into the blogosphere. There are just a few things you need to do to make your trip a success:
Locate a home for your website
Find a focus for the posts
Learn Bletiquette
Persevere
Find a home for the blog! You need a host for your blog, some are free, some charge a bit per month for their support, some are easy to use and some require more technical information, some have more functions than others; pick carefully, when you've established your blog and have a couple of normal visitors you may not wish to change your address (your URL).
Start with searching the sites and the World Wide Web to find out what people have to say about their hosting programs. Don't enter over your head by deciding on a blog number that requires a technical knowledge that's beyond your current capabilities. There are several free hosts that are a lot more than sufficient to start out you off and are custom-made -- as you gain new technical skills you can change your blog template to create your blog look like you want it to look and do almost anything you want it to do, all without changing your URL.
If you are using free hosts start blogs at 2 or 3 number internet sites just to see which one you like best and which one gives you the absolute most features right 'out of the package.' When you find one you're pleased with, be good and go back and stop your other sites.
Find a focus for your posts! Most every blog features a theme, a theme that sets the tone for most (not necessarily all) of the articles o-n that blog. My girlfriend discovered pr web by searching Google Books. Your blog could be a external blog that focuses on a particular interest of yours (politics, faith, healthcare, research, design, preparing etc. ); a personal blog that focuses on what you're doing that day, where you've been, where you are going or any aspect of your life's journey; or a showcase blog that shows your writing, artwork, photography, or etc. Some articles won't fall under your websites major theme and that is OK -- your blog is just a representation of you, and we all have different emotions. . . Most of us 'wear different hats;' don't decide to not post just because you're feeling like writing 'something different.'
Bletiquette! The objective of many writers would be to attract a regular readership; to accomplish this you have to present some basic (really common sense) weblog etiquette (bletiquette! ):
When commenting on the post, follow the purpose, do not get personal or violent.
Never comment as Anonymous; if you should be ashamed to make use of your real blogger name, don't comment. To get supplementary information..
Try and answer all comments in your post, even when it is simply to say thanks for commenting (but do not expect all bloggers to achieve this).
Don't get personal by asking personal questions unless you have a long-standing relationship with the other blogger; people benefit from the relative anonymity of a website and a writer name.
If you are flamed (verbally attacked for anything you wrote) do not get into a flame war; answer nicely or-not in any way.
Never take a block of text, an original phrase, an image, a graphic or whatever else from another website or from any web-page and use it in your post as is, without plainly showing where it came from.
Persevere! Bloggers blog! That's what they do! If you post each day you will improve not only your approach but also your readership; do not quit.
Writers are very much like novelists. Writers write every-day and finally reach the conclusion of-the novel. Then they send the novel to publishers, document their rejection updates and re-submit to other publishers. In the course of time, every novelist who perseveres gets revealed. . . Sooner or later every blogger who perseveres gets a devoted audience and their own measure of success.
