Ok, so we have talked about why you want to write a blog, and we have talked about what you might want to write about.
Now the next step is how the heck do you do it, and where can you do it. Let’s get this straight up front. Blogging is not easy. We all think that it would be so cool to write about the things that are going on in our heads. The reality is much different. Why? Because it isn’t easy slowing down your thoughts to the point where you can type them out. It isn’t easy to slow your thoughts down so that you can put them in a readable form. And it isn’t easy sitting down and actually doing all of that typing.
So, if you are like me with a lazy bone, your posts can and will seem few and far between at times.
Regardless. The where is easy. There are a large number of free blog sites. Google has “Blogger”, and there is a wordpress site, and there is a typepad site, and blah, blah, blah, blah. And you can even do what I have done, which is to establish a website of your own hosted by any one of a million web hosts. Blogger and the ones like it are free. Web hosts can cost you some cash. I always suggest to folks starting out to go the free route first. Get into it for awhile and then you can look at what you are doing and figure out if you want to branch out to a hosted site.
Time is what is needed. Time to figure out if this is something that you want to do, and time to save up your pennys.
There you have the “how”. Next time we will talk about setting up your blog.
Namaste.
