| Before I start, let me talk about what is a blog. To me, a blog is some thing like your own diary or a platform that can let you write almost anything you want.
From Wikipedia:
A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) and are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.
I started my blog in 2005 after get influenced by my brother. I have posted my blog history before, so I’m not going to repeat here (You can click HERE to read about it). The main topic I want to share is, How to Blog.
There are 2 options for you to start your blog: Register to a free blog hosting OR register your own domain and web hosting server.
Register to a free blog hosting is the easiest way ever. They are so many free blog hosting out there. The most common will be the blogger.com. Besides blogspot, wordpress, myspace, xanga, typepad, livejournal, vox and etc are also available online. This is base on personal preference.
Free blog hosting embed most of the stuff inside, you can start to write in just seconds. It’s pretty straight forward. Just go and register an account, login and start yout posting. Of coz, you can change the template as you wish. You also can attach additional stuff into you blog like videos and photos, with just a simple click. For the intermmediate level, you even can edit the coding inside.
For the 2nd option, post it tomorrow. Too lengthy………
