How To Set Up Your Blog

Setting Up Your Blog

Blogging is a advantageous source of profit and blogs are easy to set up and maintain. Imagine a life where you are paid to write on stuff that interests you, whenever you want, wherever you are. The mere flexibility of blogging makes it easy for you to just kick back, relax and go on a vacation when you feel like it.

In this article, we are going to look into the profitability of a blog and set up a blog of our own at no cost! Interested? Read on!

Firstly , we need to obtain a blog. There are several options – get a free blog or host a blog on your own domain . It is good to get a free blogs for starters You can set up a free blog at blogger or the newer (and better!) wordpress. If you are a techie, you must have heard of WordPress, a free blog engine that is robust and infinitely expandable.

If you have a blogger (owned by Google) which can be indexed faster because it will be detected on Google’s radar at first . WordPress.com, however, is a relatively new option so I have no comparison on the speed of getting indexed by search engines. However, WordPress is better in the sense that it has more advanced features such as Trackbacks and Categories. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later).

Get a free blog at either Blogger.com or WordPress . Then, familiarize yourself by posting your first post on your blog and tinkering around with the options and templates.

Here are a few common “blog-related” words to help you out:

1)  Permalink – Permalink is permanent link, which is a URL (uniform resource locator) that leads to an individual post that you make in your blog.

2)  Trackback – When you post about someone else’s blog post elsewhere, your post will show up in their “trackback” section. This feature, however, is not available with a Blogger.com account.

3)  Pinging – Blogging seems to be paired with pinging almost every time either one is mentioned nowadays. Pinging is actually the action where a certain aggregator is notified whenever your blog is updated, so that the aggregator may show the newest post of your blog on their website. This is a useful way to getting traffic, which we shall discuss later.

For now, I shall leave you testing out your new blog and the features that come included with it. In the next articles, we shall discuss some ways we can gain profit from a blog, as well as tips on how to write posts that keep visitors glued and keep coming back for more!
