How To Start A Blog (Part 1)

Many would ask " How do you start a blog?" The answer is pretty simple, love to write and a willing heart for adventure. Remember that blogging is also the same as writing in the papers, or broadcasting them via radio and TV. That it is why its called media for which is the forms of "medium".

For blogging, it is more unique because it can be multimedia and can be in written, audio, and video presentation of information which sums up the three other media. Since the dawn of the internet, its purposed has been utilized in many forms and it would be better that we can fill it up with useful and entertaining content. 

For people who are not yet familiar with the blogging system, it can be done with the simple way or the complicated nose-bleeding path. Experience will be your best teacher here.

As a newbie or noob (or whatever you may call it), it is important that you have, first the inquisitive mind that will take you to the vast sea of information and words that will fit them. Know first what you are capable of and know what are your interests. You may be a lady that have a passion for cars, or a guy who like to travel and would like to document what happened in your journey. Hobbies, sports, movies, anything that you like ,or would like to do in the future which will set you on the path to your blogging career. Try to determine at least 3-5 topics you like to talk about. This give your brain a signal to make a conversation of the things you wanted to say, then write away.

You can actually start with writing them on paper, which I did when I was a kid, or type them in a notepad on your computer or tablet. Depending on the generation you're in, both activities do help a lot. As much as possible, do know spelling and grammar properties which you have learned in you language subjects because you would get instant internet lashes with Grammar Nazis and Spelling Superintendents. However, if you writing in a different language, there would be differences and spelling sometimes varies and can be be tolerable.

You have many options for internet platforms and the top sites would be (1) Blogger.com (2) Wordpress.com and (3) Tumblr.com. These are free blogging platforms which you can create your blog and have user-friendly interface in making a blog post. Remember that your site will bear the .blogspot, .wordpress, or .tumblr.com at the end since you are using a free platform. However you also have an option to have it on a specific domain name (e.g. mywebsite.com , helloblogworld.net) which are easy to type on the browser and also easy to remember for people who will read them.
