The term “blogger”, popular nowadays, sounds rather tempting to the ear of the modern Internet inhabitant. Thousands of friends and comments, top places in ratings, re-posts on social networks, and maybe even - what the hell is not kidding - publishing your own book? Or, at least, the opportunity to give a new acquaintance or colleague a link to your own corner of the Internet, where you can get acquainted with your thoughts, impressions, photos. So, you decided to blog, in other words - an online diary. Where to start and how to act?
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you should decide what you need a blog for. What could you share with your future online friends? Do you want to interest the audience with your literary experiments, drawings or photographs? Perhaps you are planning to devote your blog to a business that you know and love well enough - cooking, for example, or caring for house plants? In addition, a blog can become a good platform for selling author's handmade products - toys, jewelry, souvenirs. Or maybe you just want to share everyday thoughts and impressions with your friends? This can also be done in such a way that many people will read your notes with genuine interest.
Step 2
The choice of platforms for keeping a web diary is now quite large. Almost everywhere there is an opportunity to create a free account and, if desired, switch to a paid basis, which gives the user more opportunities. When choosing, be guided by how convenient it will be for you to blog on this platform that matches your goals.
Step 3
Web diary design, choosing avatars is an interesting creative task, especially if you have the skills to work in graphic editors such as Adobe Photoshop and are fond of web design. If you don't have such skills, that's okay. You can always pick up some basic design options or apply for a ready-made design to the thematic community of your chosen blogosphere. In addition, these communities always have craftsmen who are ready to create custom designs according to your preferences. In the same way, you can choose avatars for yourself.
Step 4
It is better to think in advance what impression you would like to make on future friends with the design of your blog. Which network image do you choose? Do you want to emphasize your seriousness and sanity or optimism and cheerfulness? Your blog's color scheme will tell you that without words! Who will be looking from your avatars? Your favorite movie characters, drawings you like, favorite animals can settle there, or maybe you will choose the most successful of your own photographs.
Step 5
Try not to make your notes too long - this can tire readers. Concentrate on the most important and interesting things you can share. If the text is still long enough, remove most of it under the so-called "kat". This is a kind of link that, when you click on it, reveals a hidden portion of the text. The same should be done with large collections of photos.
