Starting a Blog

Since this class has had a lot to do with blogging I figured I would share this video on starting a blog incase anyone would want to start their own blog on a topic of their choice. I know I am definitely interested in starting my own.


The above video talks mainly about how to get started. They say to first to pick a platform. So what blog website are you going to choose? They recommend this one: blog spot. I can speak from experience that this is very easy to use.

They also say to pick a topic. They say not to write about what everyone is writing about. They say to pick what you want to write about and it will show in your blog if you are passionate about it. They also say that if you try to sit down and write and you have nothing to write about then you shouldn't write that day.

Their next topic is layout. The girls say that you need to just mess around and figure it out for yourself. They say that the spacing is very important, everything cannot be crammed in there. Also for the background they say typically don't use black and to use white instead. For fonts do not use something to complicated because people cannot read it. For a lot of things on your blog you can Google how to do it. They say that pictures are very important on your blog and engaged your readers. Pictures are a major part of your blogs content! When you blog make the readers blogging experience as enjoyable as possible!

They say it will take a long time. A blog will not get big over time and do not start a blog just to get big. Write because it's something you enjoy. They said it took them over a year. Also join Twitter and you can build relationships with other bloggers. They say not to compare your blog with others blog though, make your blog your own and do not worry about everyone else. A blog is your own personal space on the internet so make it personal.
