Good Advice When Creating a Blog Account

Good Advice When Creating a Blog Account

Compared to building a website, creating your own blog is something relatively easy to do. Building even a simple website such as WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get), still involves a number of things such as, designing your page, purchasing a domain, hosting it and then work on ways to upload your information to your site. This is not so with a blog. You can make your own personal blog account on one of the large networks for free and you will not have to be concerned about learning how to upload any news pages to it.

So how do you go about creating your own blog account? First, you should start by selecting the type of blog you wish to create. For instance, are you using blogs to promote your business or to chronicle your daily life? Which ever you decide, it will help to determine which type of blog you should create.

If you’re using a blog to chronicle your daily life, you may want to create an account with a network such as Myspace. Myspace will give you a simple means to design your blog, to update it, and to communicate with other network users. Creating your own blog account with Myspace is actually completely free, and you wont have to host the blog yourself. Myspace will actually host it for you and also provide you with all the resources and tools needed to keep it updated.

People that want to use their blog to help promote their business and do not want to create their own website, can go to places like, ’Google Blogger’ to open an account. After you create your own account, Google Blogger will provide you a template that you can customize, as well as, allow you to make a subdomain title from which you will display your blog. If you’re trying to target a specific keyphrase with your blog, you may want to use that exact keyphrase as the subdomain.

Once you have completed this process, you will want to spend some time searching through the many Blogger various options that are available. To optimize your blog completely, you will want to consider how many posts you display on each page and whether or not you will allow comments, after all this, you can feel good about creating your first blog.
