start a blog

Blog has a name. Finally.

That was seriously the hardest part.

Now, the writing begins!

Also, I want a fancy logo header. K said he’d help me with that.

I started it, but I’m horrible at updating, I’m awful at the content of what I do put in it, but at least it’s there – next goal – update more often!!

I’ve been dabbling in the idea of starting a blog for a little while now. The idea first came to mind when a friend, b, started promoting hers and telling friends to read it, as she wants to create high traffic and start making money from it. I did read it, and soon realized that if she could do this, so could I.
I didn’t become serious about the idea until last night. I belong to this dating site that is free, and I’ve used it for just about everything except dating. I write really poignant blogs on this this that usually attract a lot of attention, and noticed that I really had something to blog about everyday, but didn’t want to do it on this dating site because sometimes I get some pretty angry responses from guys I’ve upset. A lot of the things I discuss are very much about human behavior, and the differences between men and women. But I have so many topics I’d like to write about, all centering around behavior; such as relationships and spirituality, technology, career, success, etc…
I think I have something to say and a unique way to say it.
Last night I got really excited about the idea the moment I came up with my domain name. Then I started really researching the web on articles about starting a high-traffic blog and generating income from it.
I found the site that I want to host it. I found the software. All I need now is the money to buy the hosting for one year. As much as I would like to buy it RIGHT NOW I need to be practical with my money at the moment because of other things going on in my life. So, I am simply concentrating on manifesting the funds and I expect my blog to be up and running by mid-August.

This is the most inspired I’ve been to do something in quite a while, and I can’t wait to launch it!

OK, so I’ve started my blog at http://www.personalfinancehacks.com. It’s a blog about personal finance (duh), but I focus on the day-to-day financial issues that we all face. Things like getting out of debt, saving for retirement, saving more and spending less, etc etc. The blog has been a lot of fun so far, and I’ve met a ton of great people.

Today I Finally Got My Act Together And Started My Blog.

I Used Blogger… It Was So Easy To Use And Also Free!
I Am So Glad That I Have Finally Got Myself Into Gear!

I Plan To Add To My Blog Daily, And Hope To Keep That Up…

W…x

I just started my Nth blog. Starting one is EASY.. keeping it going is the difficult part. My advice to myself is to start on in the topic that I’m passionate about so I can keep writing articles that provide massive value to the blog readers.

Just started so we’ll see.

Well, I’ve got myself registered at wordpress:

Now I just have to mess with the design and figure out exactly what I’m going to be posting about. I’ve had a Livejournal for many years that I use as more of a daily updating site, to keep track of my thoughts and those of my friends. I’ll still keep up with that, but I want this new blog to have its own niche. Maybe something to do with my location and the struggles of writing that I come across around here. Will brainstorm this and post when I have it all figured out. Stay tuned.

And When the website is finished, it will include a blog :)

linked my 43Things and LiveJournal accounts so that my 43Things entries are posted to my LiveJournal “blog” (but as individual private journal entries). Does that count? :)
