Hi there! Weklcome to my blog. Just incase you are coming for the first time, i am talking about blog and blogging tips. So check on the "ARCHIVE" to find the first post about what blog is?
Today lets talk more on blogging.
If you are a bit observative, you will see that Blogs are everywhere these days. Its difficult to surf the Internet this days without seeing the word Blog or a blog page somewhere. Blog is now beeing used more often to help promote business and gain valuable information quicker while surfing the Internet.
The word Blog is short for web log as explained in my first post. Basically a Blog is just an area set aside for you to write articles about your products and services or just about you or anything that can easily be accessed with a special program called a RSS reader. In case you're wondering RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication.
When you set up a Blog you select a template that will house your information. Once you have the Blog set up you can post whatever information you like. It's really a fast way to get your articles and information up on the web and the templates look great!
You don't have to mess with all the technical end of getting something up on a web page (HMTL layout, FTP, ect...). The real cool thing about Blogs is that you can get the software to read them for free. Also, you can set up an account and create your own Blog for free!
One thing I should note is, you can read Blogs with your standard browser and post comments on the content of the Blog. An optional way to read Blogs is by using a RSS reader program. You simply subscribe to whichever Blogs that you want to and they are available immediately in the reader.
To get started with your very own free Blog, which you can post to go to: http://www.blogger.com/start
Just follow the sign up. I think you will find that they are very easy to set up and post to.
The are many advantages that Blogs offer over a web site or ezine.
1. You don't have to mess with an HTML layout. You just post your info and the info looks wonderful because the Blog uses the template that you set up.
2. You can post as often as you like. I can't imagine that I would send an email to my ezine every day but with a Blog you can post as much as you would like.
3. Email spam filters do not block Blogs because they are not an email communication.
4. You can make as many Blogs as you like on any subject or topics.
5. You can decide to look as proffessional as you want and do your business without worrying about a website.
I hope this will help you start your own Blog and officially start you down the road to being a Blogger. It pays too!
