The act of writing produces a peculiar satisfaction. In my opinion, everyone is a writer. We may not all yield a pen as a weapon of choice, but we record our thoughts and leave an imprint. Blogs are a handy tool for sharing your expertise and observations. There are no rules to writing on a blog, except the ones you create for yourself.
To create your own blog:
- Choose a topic of interest. This has to be something you're passionate about or your blog could be a scrap book of observations.
- Choose an appropriate name for your blog.
- Register on blogger or wordpress and select a ready-made template with easy instructions on how to personalize the site. The new templates contain separate pages, so your blog can look a lot like a professional website. At no cost.
- The instructions once you register and pick a template, are straight forward. Publishing posts is a breeze with a user interface similar to most commonly used programs.
- To be a better writer: read a lot, write at least once a week, edit your work, build your vocabulary and know your audience.
- Spread the word.
