For my first blog, I
have to admit that I'm somewhat disappointed. When I started about a week ago I
truly had no idea what I was doing. A lot of what I have done so far is things
that anyone could have accomplished in the first day. Here's everything that
I've done so far and a guide to how you can accomplish it in one day.
Start the Blog
- If you’re going to use Blogger as your platform, sign
up or log in. then under the more tab at the top, go to Google Blogger.
Click create to make a new blog, fill out the name and other
information and you've got yourself a blog
Change the Template
- Nothing says "Newbie Blogger" as much as the
default templates. There are plenty of free quality templates online if
you search for it, or you can click here.
- Once you've downloaded the template you like click on
the template tab on the left of the screen. At the top right you should
see a button that says backup/restore. Click the button and upload the xml
file from the template you chose. Press upload and you have your new
template.
Write Some Posts
- The most important part of a blog is the content. Write
a few posts of quality information by clicking the create new post button
on the left of the screen.
- It helps when you add helpful links, pictures, and
video.
Add an About and Contact
Page
- This process is a lot like adding posts. Just click the
pages tab and add a new page.
Advertise Yourself
- Sign up for Facebook, Twitter, any social media site
you want and introduce yourself. Make sure everyone knows about your blog
without nagging them about it. Contact people who are doing something in a
similar category as you and make some friends. The more people who know
you, the more people will know about your blog.
