Making Blogging Easy

For new comers, the world of blogging may seem intimidating. Indeed, there is plenty of competition but that only serves as a spur for the talented and willing. So what exactly is blogging?

         

Reasons for blogging

There are four main reasons for blogging:

• Blogging as an pastime activity
• Blogging for money
• Blogging to build social contacts
• Blogging to connect to the world

Create a blogging account

Perhaps the most important guideline to blogging is the reason why you want to blog.Let us begin with the basic. Go to gmail (type gmail in a new window) and create an account. Write some name -- alfred, domez, fred, or anything that comes to your mind to be your email address. So your email address becomes alfred @gmail.com. Actually, it would be a good reason to use your own name -- Muthu@gmail.com.

Now that you have created your email address, you need to start a blogging account. Go to blogger. Type blogger into the search bar and then create a blogging account. Give a good name for your blog-- your grandma's name is fine. Now you have to decide on what to write.

We will discuss this in the next blog. Happy blogging.
