As I said , I will do a little guideline for beginning bloggers... Which no I don't know everything about blogging, but the advantage I do have is: I been taking some free blogging classes at the library just a suggestion (hint, hint)
- START. As stated earlier, blogging is best learned by blogging....and by reading other bloggers. So. start ( although I was told not to read other blogs, but I did anyway, so that's your choice)
- KNOW YOUR MOTIVATION. Why are you blogging? What do you hope to achieve?
- LINK. The heart of blogging linking...linking and commenting. Connecting and communicating-the purpose of the Internet.
- EXPERIMENT. Developing a writing style is an evolutionary process. Try different approaches and formats until you find one that fits your message, audience, and personal motivations.
- USE LIFE. and your experiences as your "idea generation "file.
- GET AN OPINION. Then express it.
- EXPRESS YOUR PERSONALITY... let your humor, your perspective on life, and your values shine in your writing.
- POST REGULARLY. This is important- readers drop off/lose interest with irregular blogs (syndication and aggregators allow blog readers to stay in touch with infrequently updated blogs-more on that in the section "Extending Blogs")
- KEEP WIRTING CLEAR and concise. Avoid jargon... but utilize the unique aspects of the medium (visual, links, sound). Focus on communication (function) before form.
- WRITE FOR A REASON, not recognition. Most bloggers have small audiences. Satisfaction is derived from the writing process, not the audience response...
