start a blog

I learned how to set up a blog on WordPress. I used these videos as a guide. http://www.becomeablogger.com/video-4.html You could use a free blogging platform instead, but I want to be able to advertise and make some money from my blog. Basically, you have to get a web host and then link your domain name to it. Then you install WordPress, a WordPress theme, then plug-ins that help with functionality. I really got hung up on trying to change the theme. I’m kind of stuck on that it doesn’t display correctly when I look at it from work, but it does at home when I’m working on it. I still have yet to write my first post.

so i started a blog- but i’m not gonna check it off till i write in it regularly.
whoot!

My fourth entry is up and I have three friends following, and I am following their blogs. What fun! I was even able to start trading succulent cuttings with other people interested in succulents. One more entry, and I will condsider my blog “started!”

This morning I made my third entry! I decided that the blog would be about my hobbies with my husband, which include plant, insect, and pet care. This entry was about my money tree plant that he gave me last year. I did some research and compiled it and wrote about my personal experience with caring for the plant. It was fun!

Also, I was brave and posted a link to my blog on facebook today. I’m hoping some of my other friends with similar interests will enjoy reading it.

Two more entries, and I will consider this goal complete. I figure five entries is a “start.”

I’d like to start a blog in order to get myself noticed and get my ideas and thoughts in front of the right people.

ahh im on the eve of starting one for my school athletic website
any advice?!

Blogging is a great experience!! It’s so much fun to let the world know about your day-to-day life, and it’s also fun to look back at other entries you’ve written and see how much you’ve changed since then. Kind of like a public journal! I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in gaining some insight of who they are and what they live for.

I finally got around to making a second entry! I was reading my cousins’ blogs today and got the urge to work on my own. I’m going to focus on my “living” hobbies, which include my plants, my pets, and my fascination with insects. I think it will be interesting, and give me a history to look back on. I’m not really worried about a following, but maybe down the road I can help someone with their plant, pet, or insect. :)

Two entries down, three to do before I call this one “done.”

Set up a blog on WordPress and I am drafting my first post. I think I will hang on to the first draft for a while.
