How to Start a Blog

I’ve talked to a few friends who are interested to starting blogs. Here are some of the links I’ve found helpful. It isn’t as hard as it looks to do the basics. Just get started and let your voice be heard. It can always be dressed up later.  Content is what matters more than theme, layout or anything else.  If you like to write and have something to say, give it a shot.  Reading other people’s blogs and seeing their layouts is the best way to learn about blogging. The hardest think to learn is to keep it short. People skim on the web-so I’ll stop now. Please post any other links you found helpful in the comments.

  1. It is not so difficult to start a blog; the problem that you will probably find in the long run is to continue posting interesting stuff. Before creating your blog you should be clear about the fact that you will have to dedicate some time every day or week to it.
