Starting a Blog

So far we have discussed how to decide the theme of a blog and how to keep a blog alive. Now, lets discuss a couple other things.

Compare the idea of your blog page to the similarity of a company with a website. It took me some time to understand this fully. I knew I wasn't a store selling merchandise or a municipal district sharing information about licensing or how to report a down tree. I was simply someone who saw an opportunity to document and share some of my everyday experiences. I don't refer to my blog as 'my webpage' although that's what it is. That is where some of the confusion happened while trying to gain more followers- we'll cover that in a later post.

So now that you know starting a blog is like having your own webpage. There are several free blogging platforms as well as paid ones. According to this review, several blogging platforms offer free mobile apps.  Are you still wondering, 'Why bother?' Here are some statistics about social media engagement by other bloggers.  Try not to get too hung up on the details. All you need to know is if the platform is compatible and available for your mobile device and if you are able to generate a post offline. You don't want to have to whip out your laptop and try to find somewhere with WIFI every time you're inspired to post to your blog.
