Blogging for the Beginner


So what is a blog? Blogs are online versions of a journal or diary. They can be about anything you choose, from cars and planes, to pets and eco friendly cleaning products. There are thousands (and even possibly millions) of them out there on the internet! Blogs come in all different styles, fonts, sizes and preferences. It’s incredible the variety of them out there. If you have any idea for your blog, there is surely a style to fit, that’s for sure. Lots of blogging sites let you add multimedia to your posts and on your blog. You can upload videos, audio files; even make it look fancy with flash. There are so many possibilities it will make your head spin!

Indeed, there are also programs that will let you use a voice to text program if you are less than adept at typing. This can either help or hinder you. Make sure you get a good one that recognizes your manner of speech or you may end up with a whole load of gobbledegook. Not what the reader wants to see on the webpage!

A blog will have the following characteristics in it: a title (the content of your post), body (the main part of your post), trackback (how other sites can be linked back to your blog), a permanent link (the URL of your post) and comments section that allows readers to post comments about your post.

Pretty much every blogging site will have templates that the amateur blogger can use to post on. This makes it especially user friendly for the newbie blogger. No confusing HTML to worry about! Just choose a template, write your content and post. Super easy!

There are a number of blogging websites that have a great active community and it’s super easy to create your own blog on these sites and jump in. Once you have a free account and have set up your new blog, peruse around the site and find other blogs you’re interested in. Read through, get ideas and post comments on other blogs. Don’t forget when you do this you are also backlinking to your own blog. That means more traffic to your blog! How cool is that?

Blogging is so simple, yet a very effective way of jumping into the online community and getting the word out about you and your interests. It can be a great way to advertise your business also and make money. You will see quite a few authors use blogging to keep their fans up to date with what they are doing and to promote their latest and greatest products. It can be a very lucrative venture indeed.

When it comes to blogging, the sky’s the limit. It’s easy, fun and done right can put money and traffic at your fingertips. It’s as easy as 1,2,3. 1. Sign up for a free blog 2. Write your content 3.
