\"Blog-<\/p>\n

Hope you are doing great. Well, as promised in my previous post here I am with a new post which will provide you with all information on ‘How to start your own blog”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have come across a number of people who get excited to start their blog. But their blogs seldom\u00a0come live.\u00a0Everybody dreams but only a few accomplish them. So first of all congratulations for your wise step to start your blog.<\/p>\n

“Blog” is an abbreviated version of “weblog ,”\u00a0which happens to be<\/span>\u00a0an\u00a0expression<\/span>\u00a0employed to<\/span>\u00a0describe web sites that\u00a0uphold<\/span>\u00a0a continuous<\/span>\u00a0journal<\/span>\u00a0of data<\/span>\u00a0. A blog features diary-type commentary and links to\u00a0content<\/span>\u00a0on\u00a0supplementary<\/span>\u00a0online resources<\/span>\u00a0,\u00a0generally<\/span>\u00a0introduced<\/span>\u00a0as\u00a0a bunch of<\/span>\u00a0entries in reverse chronological order . Blogs\u00a0vary from<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0individual<\/span>\u00a0to the political , and can\u00a0target<\/span>\u00a0one narrow\u00a0subject matter<\/span>\u00a0or a whole range of\u00a0topics<\/span>\u00a0. You can get more information about blogging on wikipedia<\/a>.\u00a0Blogging is either\u00a0free of charge<\/span>\u00a0or reasonably priced<\/span>\u00a0,\u00a0giving you the ability to<\/span>\u00a0get started right away by creating a blog on\u00a0a website<\/span>\u00a0like Blogger or WordPress. I recommend WordPress. These following steps would help you decide on how to start your first blog:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WordPress or Blogger :<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>This the first hurdle to decide on the blogging platform. WordPress or Blogger? \u00a0A lot more others are out there. But these two are the prominent players. It all depends on your taste and your acquaintance with these platforms. Check some of the blogs on both platform. This will help you to decide between WordPress or Blogger. I love WordPress. And this website is a self hosted website using WordPress.
    \n<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Think some great name for your blog:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>This is the second hurdle you will surely come across once you decided on the platform for your blogging. You need some perfect name which is short and related to the topics you are going to keep it updated with. Here friends are great help and game too. Decide the name and sign up on your favorite blogging platform.<\/li>\n
  3. Ask yourself what you\u00a0really like<\/span>\u00a0, care about or\u00a0want to<\/span>\u00a0write about : \u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>If you’re\u00a0<\/span>planning to<\/span>\u00a0come up with<\/span>\u00a0something\u00a0consistently<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0continue<\/span>\u00a0your blog\u00a0crisp<\/span>\u00a0with\u00a0cutting edge<\/span>\u00a0information , then you\u00a0ought to<\/span>\u00a0write about\u00a0something which<\/span>\u00a0stokes your\u00a0fondness<\/span>\u00a0or that\u00a0shows<\/span>\u00a0your daily\u00a0expertise<\/span>\u00a0. Try some of these\u00a0suggestions to<\/span>\u00a0get your\u00a0ingenious<\/span>\u00a0juices\u00a0pumping<\/span>\u00a0: technology, politics, food, literature, business,cars, gadgets, photography etc.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Think how you want to help people with your write up :<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>While you<\/span>\u00a0want to know<\/span>\u00a0your\u00a0wide-ranging<\/span>\u00a0area <\/span>,\u00a0you should <\/span>concentrate<\/span>\u00a0your blog topics more narrowly ,\u00a0to ensure that<\/span>\u00a0it has\u00a0a transparent<\/span>\u00a0objective<\/span>. You may like to teach something on which you have great hands on. You can share latest trends and news falling under the niche of your blog. Have you ever won over an obstacle? If yes then you can share your your experiences to inspire your readers.<\/li>\n
  5. Know what\u00a0not\u00a0to blog about<\/strong> : <\/em>Wow your blog was going all well. But suddenly a good day you blew it off. And the worst case is you even don’t know what happened. Your friends, family, workplace and co-workers may take a dim view of anything if it wraps out some secret, shares some confidential trade secrets, make fun of your peers or causes other people trouble. So its always a good idea to know your limits. Check with your friends or co-workers if you are mentioning them in your posts. Check with your workplace what is permissible and what is not on your personal blog if it contains a mention.
    \n<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. Check other blogs related to your idea of blog :<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>Do some research to find out the best blogs related to the topic of your blog. Read their blogs. Share your views in the comment section about the post. Do it on regular basis to establish a relation with other bloggers. This is very important if you want your blog to go viral. Keep checking what other bloggers are writing. What different are you doing from them. This will establish you as a famous blogger.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now its your turn to take a plunge into blogging. Believe me, its really a fun and you will learn a lot.<\/p>\n

    Hope to see your blog live soon. Please share your blog URLs in comment section when you are ready with one.<\/p>\n
