Many blogging sites, offer built in features such as hyperlink, straight texts, pictures etc. Some blogging sites, even allow you to put video and mp3's on your blogs.

Chai... see different kinds of advice. The real question is why do you want to start a blog? answering this question will point you in the right direction. Regarding platform, cost and technicalities. Here are some reasons for starting a blog. 1. To make money (I.e to buy your own house at banana island) If you're blogging for money get ready to spend. Most people who blog for money don't bother writing quality articles. They just do simple copy n paste. Since money is the priority, you can start with the free Blogger platform. And all you have to spend is on domain and blog promotion. 2. To establish a media presence. Others don't blog solely for money but. rather media popularity. Although Linda belongs to this category, her main goal is money....typical igbo woman. Now I advice you use a self hosted WordPress if this is your goal. Because it gives you full control, good user experience and cool visual appearance. people can't just visit your blog without appreciating your effort. You must also write quality posts that solve problem or are entertaining. 3. For Fun. Now if you're blogging for fun just like me, you shouldn't care whatever people say. Just do what you think is right. It's your choice if you choose to use blogger or WordPress. Forget those 'why you should or shouldn't ' posts. You can post whenever you like. Get AdSense or not. Now the choice is yours. Just look within yourself and know why you really wanna blog. p.s; the second n third categories could also make cool money if they choose to. |

deramarks: Especially for a writer, you must employ the use of punctuations and please, STOP tweaking your spellings, it's not cool. Finding a publisher is not particularly herculean, there are other important tips you must know to avoiding falling into the wrong arms. I could assist you if you're indeed interested. Cheers. 1 Like |
