Ever felt like ur head was racing with ideas and u had no one to share it with , ever felt like u wanted to write something beautiful , something poetic , something more meaningful , something more constructive , ever felt like u wanted to just rant endlessly about ur life's up and downs and the hardships that go with it , ever felt like u are on the top of this world and u just need some one to share ur happiness with. Well, as humans we all have gone through this emotions atleast once in our lifetime. And if ur one of those types who can blabber on n on then blogging is just the right option for u.
For those of u who are not aware of the term ''blogging'' lemme make it clear. Blogging is like writing a daily diary or a journal. Only difference is its an online journal and u can publish ur daily musings in it. So if u wanna just add that little bit of spice to ur diary writing habits , blogging is the best way to let it out.
How to get started ?
Well there are many websites which have come up with these. The best ones are https://blogger.com , https://tblog.com , https://blogdrive.com. Some of the other websites that have recently started this activity are https://rediff.com , https://yahoo360degress.com & even msn has come up with it. All u have to do is simply register urself , get an id & password and just follow the instructions step by step and there u r up and ready with ur blog.
What to write ?
U can write on various things that interests you. You can write briefly about ur hobbies like gardening , knitting , music. You can also make it a personal diary. U can write about ur day to day activities , u can rant endlessly about ur boss or the organisation , like I do (but make sure u dont get caught) , u can write review on movies , restaurants , electric gadgets. If u are a techie then u can write about technical stuff. If u are one of those who like to be on a constant move u can write about the current events in ur town or country. If u have a poetic side u can even write ur poems and express ur feelings. If u are staying away from ur family and cannot contact them for some reason u can blog ur daily musings n let them know it through ur blog. If u have some photgraphs u can even publish them.
Pro's
Templates :
The best part of blogging is the templates. There are end no of templates available on net. They are very easy to use and access. Before I started blogging I was completely unaware of the term html. but I started blogging I have started making my own templates and that is what keeps me hooked to it. Changing skin is one of the best part to let ur creative side flow. U can as creative as u wish. U can upload background music , even upload ur fav song and even upload some good images.Some of the websites which u can visit for templates are https://blogskin.com & https://bloggertemplatesbycaz.blogspot.com.
Comments :
U can easily comment on what one has written and share ur opinions on it. U can also upload a shoutbox which is commonly called as a gossip box. Here u can just drop in a hi/hello to ur friend or just type ur url if u r a newbie to the blog.
Profile :
In blogger.com u can also maintain ur personal profile. Its just a 2 min task to fill up ur details
Links :
In this section u can link up any website u wish to. Suppossing ur friend has a blog too and u cant remember the url everytime u can just add it to the links and u just have to click on it to access his/her blog. U can also add ur fav music , movie , joke , news links.
Emotions :
U can use tons and tons of emotions to make it more lively and interactive. There are lots of emotions available on the net. U can use them to create more effect and stress on what u r saying
Multiple users :
A blog can be owned by no of people. There are no restrictions to this . So if u wanna start a blog for ur college or ur office u can invite ur friends or colleagues and everyone can contribute his share of ideas on any subjects.
Completely free :
It is completely free of cost. All u need is a good reliable internet connection at home and u can get started at anytime
Cons :
Addictive :
It is highly addictive. Infact I am so addicted to it , that I am literally online most of the time (and as a result I have put on a flab but ssshhhh dats a secret)
Accessible to neone :
It can be accessed by anyone so chances are that u might get some ppl spamming ur comment box. However for blogger u can turn off that feature and u wont have to deal with those anonymous readers anymore.
So dats about it , u can easily get started now and still if u have ne issues I am just a comment away.
