The last few years in Russia, network diaries-blogs have been gaining popularity. With their help, you can meet interesting people, learn a lot of new and useful things. In order to plunge into all the diversity of online life, you need to create your own diary.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to decide what you need a blog for. For communication, reading different communities or promoting ideas?
Different services are suitable for each purpose.
Livejournal is perhaps the most popular site. In the blogosphere it is called LJ (LiveJournal). Here you can create your own blog or community (community). Most often, users (users) publish posts that suggest discussion. There are exceptions, for example, when the magazine is open only to the owner.
Liveinternet is a Russian site for online diaries. The short name is LiRu. Here the format is more "diary" than blogging. The service is designed mainly for "personal" communication.
Step 2
After you have decided on the site, you can start registering the diary. The procedure is standard, quite simple. The system will prompt you to specify a username and password, information about yourself, choose a suitable design and set up "personal" options such as friends' feed, private lists, hiding comments, etc.
LJ has an extensive FAQ system (answers to frequently asked questions), which will help you get used to the site. On LiRu, advice from the creator of the site and users who can take you under the "tutelage" will help you get used to it. After you have saved the selected settings, you can proceed to the most important thing - records.
Step 3
The value of any blog is in the information it contains. Whether it's breaking news or personal notes. Each entry is a "post". In the first post, you can tell about yourself, your hobbies. Very quickly, other users will come to your "light". From now on, you can choose your friends. In LJ this process is called friendship, on LiRu - adding to friends. The idea is the same - all the blogs you choose appear in your friends 'feed, and you can track new friends' posts and leave comments.
Have you found people interesting to you? Excellent. Now you can delve into topics that interest you. Head to specialized communities.
Step 4
Communities are a kind of forum, where each post is an invitation to discuss a topic of interest. There are many communities on LiveJournal and on LiRu: from lovers of home soap making to novice Linux users from Canada. But if your interest is so specific that communities have not yet been created for it, do not be discouraged - create your own. The process of creating a community is practically the same as the process of creating a diary. User tips will help you with this.
