How to start a blog
It made me
accomplished.
 "Blogging is a great experience and a way to put yourself out there - if anyone cares enough to read."
How I did it: I learned about using blogging in the classroom for a technology class. I am studying to be an art teacher and the course recommends using digital technology to have kids post online portfolios. Blogs work in ways that allow kids to post their progress, thoughts, and read thoughts and comments from not only their family and peers, but people around the world. I started a blog about blogging for my technology class, I have a blog for a student group I am in that talks about our meetings and goals, and I also started a personal blog about going through a breakup. Unfortunately for me, that one has flatlined and has NO readership, but I try to post nearly every day. Lessons & tips: Make sure you blog about something you are interested in and you can stay motivated to keep up on. A readership will come only if you're enthusiastic and care. Try to not blog about your own life - blogging isn't necessarily a diary. Although I can't be hypocritical, a breakup blog has helped me to clear my thoughts.

How I did it: unzipped WordPress on to the hosting I already had. details see their manual. then use the php interface they provided within to administrate the blog, everything is file-based, and probably loaded on the fly.later i'll write my own blog engine to accommodate the dauntingly massive project of writing lists of pieces.

How I did it: I had a G-Mail and I knew of Blogger as a service. I just never knew Blogger was a part of Google. After I found that out, creating a Blogger was incredibly simple. Of course, making a blog is something you can do in one day (and with blogger, it takes only a few minutes,) but maintaining it takes a long time. Editing posts, however, is a huge pain. The "create-a-post" setup it totally different than your blog page, and it's cramped. It c… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I'd had a blog before, and some design experience, so setting one up was a piece of cake. If you're technologically impaired, there are more than a few free services out there that will take care of the backend while you provide the content. But here's how I did it. Registered a domain name and secured web hosting. Installed Wordpress Decided what features I wanted on my blog now and in the future, and looked around for plugins that… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I'd kept hand written journals for years and I'd been meaning to start a blog for a long time, but I was waiting for the right time...whenever that came. But hey, like Emerson said, how much of human life is wasted waiting? So one day I was bored and logged on to blogger.com. It's insanely easy. The format is simple and anyone can easily create a blog. Hey, I'm techno impaired and I already have 25 followers! Hey, in fact, check me out at… Read how I did it…

Wordpress Woes
4 weeks ago
I’ve actually been experimenting with blogging for a year now. I had a WordPress meltdown and am currently using Blogger until I find someone tech savvy enough to help or I figure out my issue later. Besides that, what advice can I give aspiring bloggers:
-Blog about something you love (if you have multiple interests, don’t fight it just create content about them)
-Automate your blogging. Figure out ways to make adding content easier (like posting from 43things for example)
-Give yourself a trial run. Blogging can become a big passion if you love it. Give yourself a month to determine if you love blogging and where you want to go with it.
I’ve been experimenting for a year and have finally settled on a concept that I like and am going 100% with it this time. I’ll share my progress with you and answer any questions you may have.

P.S. I would like to switch back to WordPress later on. If you know about WordPress let me know :)

This blog actually links to a few goals and projects I am doing. I would rather not have people find out my real identity on the blog, so send any PERSONAL messages here!!
However, this blog is a very big deal to me. It integrates so much. I am also proud of the title.
If any of you could visit it and comment… I don’t have any followers, yet… it would make my LIFE!
So, if anyone here has a goal to brighten someone’s day, please comment and/or answer one or more questions on my blog. I promise, the questions are very different and interesting.
Thanks, everyone!

Nice to see how well 43things works with blogger!
come up with a pen name
4 months ago
Coming up with a name to work under on my blog is proving to be a little difficult. I’m considering just making up a word. That in itself isn’t so hard, but coming up with something that I could potentially be known as to more than a few people down the road is. Maybe I’ll come up with something while I’m at work. I tend to get more ideas there when I can’t put them to use, than when I’m at home and going crazy over my lack of progress.

Seriously considering it..

Been thinking about this a long time and have been pre-writing a few posts to help kick off the new blog. The only thing that’s been bugging me lately is I’m not entirely sure if I have a proper blog theme.
I’m mixing two different subjects of gaming – Tabletops RPGs like D&D and video games. Anyone think they would mix well together or should I just pick one and stick with that?
Hopefully we can all get our blogs off the ground. Good luck everyonw!
