Things I learned when I started
If you want to make a blog (some of you might know already) I am happy to help you! So here are some things that might be useful.
Before you start, make sure to do this: choose a name for your blog, together with a topic (make sure you have a lot to say about the topic because you will make your blog all about that topic).
When you have done that, you should think about the style you would like your blog to have. Is it photos only? Long think pieces? Short status updates? Once you’ve done that, you can find a suitable service or domain for your blog-to-be. I chose Tumblr. It’s fun and simple to use, easy to discover and explore, and my words remain my own (Tumblr does not claim copyright on things you post).
Then you’ll want to make sure that people read your blog, so advertise it!
Write and publish your first post. Make sure to first write it somewhere else (like in a text editor) so you can just copy and paste the text in, because if you don’t and compose directly in a browser window or CMS, you might lose everything you wrote when something goes wrong with the WiFi or something like that.
Then choose how often you want to post something on your blog.
Now you have your own blog! But of course: try to make sure to spend enough time on it, and... that’s all!
