1. Book Marking Service and Following Email And Posts Via Gmail

You may start by simply setting up Gmail as your bookmarking service. You may choose between using the “Gmail this” booklet or Gmail’s 2.0 version wherein it becomes even easier to toss all emails that encourage you to get your blogging connected with your other various links. With the man-readable permalinks, you just have to haul them over into a bookmark folder. And should you need to have some kind of storage for all the feedbacks you receive, keep them separated from your daily mail by using the “filters and persistent searches” feature of Gmail.

This article will highlight some useful information for those considering starting a blog with WordPress.
The reasons for doing so, and why so many choose wordpress for their blogging platform is that this free software is easy to use, offers a variety of templates, and comes with a gargantuan of support.

Easy to use

WordPress is famous for its “Five Minute Install.” Admittedly, if you have never, never installed WordPress, it may take you a little longer. For most beginners, the stumbling block is setting up a database. It’s easy! Support through your hoster is usually available, and I had no hesitation using Live Chat to walk me through seemingly rough spots. The next requirement for starting a blog is a valid email address and a username. The blogger enters this information into the signup page and receives a password almost instantly. The blogger simply has to check their email, follow the activation link provided and use the password provided and the process is complete. The blogger can start blogging from the Dashboard.
Once on the inside, you have available the ability to categorize and tag posts easily, edit options such as spell check, previews and autosave, the ability to post text, and upload audio and video files. All bloggers will further discover a variety of privacy options and be able to track statistical data related to the blog.
Note that some of the features may be more important to you than others so deciding whether or not WordPress is right for you might be a matter of personal preference. For example bloggers with little or no programming experience may enjoy the myriad of templates while others who are concerned about privacy issues may be more interested in the privacy options.

Variety of templates – and for free!

The variety of free templates online is simply overwhelming. There are plenty of talented web design people all too willing to share their creativity. A blogger can start with a simple theme, and with a little practice, be ready for a more advanced theme. There are any number of combinations of columns, fixed and adjusted widths, colors, designs, and theme-types. Just Google ‘free wordpress themes’, and you will be busy for hours!

WordPress Support – Outstanding!

At some point in every WordPress bloggers life, support becomes extremely important. Once past establishing a basic blog, additional questions about advanced features, customization, plugin use and plugin options, for example, is most likely to occur. At WordPress.com, a blogger will find a wealth of support, a forum to join, templates available, suggested reading, and a host of lessons for the beginner to the advanced all who want to design their site, understanding the template files, features, functions, and web-development.

One cool part of WordPress support is the ability to contact support staff as well as other members of the forum. Support staff is generally very responsive, but keep in mind, the forum is 24/7, you may enjoy meeting other forum members, and as I have discovered all too many times, that burning question about my theme, has already been asked and answered.

A blog is basically an online diary or journal that digitally records about anything you would want people to read. “Blog” is short for the term weblog and a term coined in humor in the late 1990’s. They come in different styles and formats, support and settings, all depending upon user preferences. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting).

Of the numerous topics displayed by blogs, perhaps the best known are political, personal, niche, travel, health, religious, and educational. All serve to be a collective of a specific topic written or produced by an individual or by a group of people.

Is Keeping a Blog for Me?

There are any numbers of reasons to start a blog. Once you see how easy it is, you can keep one for just for fun. Or you can use it to advertise yourself, much in the same way social bookmark sites promote individuals. Other reasons are to promote an already existing website, and make money!! Blogging is simple, and if you can type, click a mouse, and have internet connection, then you have what it takes to get started. The best part of blogging is that it is inexpensive.

How Do I Start a Blog?

You can create a blog for free. There are many free blog hosting sites you can locate by searching for ‘blog’ in the search engine. Blogger.com is a popular, but remember, Google owns your content, and can shut you down for any reason. The plus side is that it is easy to use, great for beginners, and takes all of 5 minutes to up and running. As with other blog hosts, users are provided with pre-made, ready to apply, templates. Users are also provided with easy to follow instructions on creating posts and options such as allowing comments, social bookmark site buttons, and uploading photos and videos. Beginners will also get a first-hand exposure to a blogging community and the wide variety of blogs on the internet.

Another very simple blogging tool is WordPress. WordPress is free, open-source software, simple to install, and has a lot, I mean A LOT, of online documentation. Don’t let the phrase “install on your own website” scare you. Most hosts have the Fantastico application in the cPanel, and one click later, you choose the WordPress to have automatically installed. If you get hooked on WordPress themes, and there are hundreds of thousands available for free, learning FTP (file transfer protocol) is another easy skill to master. WordPress themes do vary in complexity, so start with something simple such as ones found at AlexKing.org. Once you start with WordPress, with all the controls and options you have over a platform such as blogger.com, you are sure to convert to WP or the like for life.
