How do I set up a blog?

Blogging is fairly simple. If you already have your own Google account, then you can use this account to log into, “Blogger,” one of Google’s free products for account holders. There are many other user-friendly, blogging platforms like WordPress and LiveJournal, who also offer free accounts.

On the chosen blogging platform, easily enter data, upload pictures, and videos of your choice. You will also have the option of allowing people to comment or not. Once you are happy with what you have written and what you have uploaded picture wise, then the next stage is hitting publish. Once you have hit publish the blog has now became live. It is really a quite simple process.

Remember to fill in the tags section with words you are looking to associate your blog with, this helps it be found in the search engines results pages. Buttons, which allow you to upload pictures and videos, are found, generally, at the side of the interface of the blog platform.

Make sure your blog is well-written and keep it short and to the point, around 250-300 words minimum, and don’t labor on the subject. It’s good to keep mentioning your subject matter, such as the focus of the blog (i.e. parenting, fitness, charity cause, etc.) often, as this will help the blog you have written get listed in the search engines.

In writing your Blog, try and keep it well written, keep it full of life, and let friends and family know about it. It will not be too long before you have followers, eagerly awaiting your next post.
