Blogging for Dummies

I really want to start a blog. I have know idea how to get started. We have a website we post pictures to and DH said we can use wordpress with it. Help!

I love my www.blogger.com for a beginning blog. Quick and easy to set up and get going.

Just go to wordpress.com, click sign up now, and 10 minutes later you can go. The hardest part is picking a blog name LOL.

and for me what to write about! My fingers always itch to write/type something, but I have nothing to write/type! ideas?

Wow, I didn't realize it was that easy. Now I need to figure out what to write and hopefully I won't make errors in my post like know and no. I swear when I am not teaching I make the worst errors.

I just recently signed up for wordpress.com. I used to use blogger.com, but wordpress.com is mobile friendly without any extra work so I switched. Besides blog entries, you can also do simple web pages. So far I've been very happy with it. I know if you have your own website there is a ton of things you can customize by going to wordpress.org. I also have the wordpress app on my iPod Touch.

As for what to write about... I didn't really want to blog because I'm a horrible writer and my writing is simply appalling. So instead, I started a Project 365, or A Photo A Day. If I feel like it, I could write something about the photo(s). It can be as long or as short as I want, or none at all.

The problem is, of course, keeping up with it every day. I try not to kill myself over something that is supposed to be for fun - so I just try my best. I also have a hard time taking just one picture a day when I do have my camera with me.

I recently started, through Blogger. I love that it's as easy as setting up an email address. That you can "monetize" with almost no effort and you can link to other blogs you follow. Fun!
