The Key To Blogging
by Aaron Tan
So,
you are inspired to start a blog? You're in luck as there are
several blogging tools. Mostly, people will save their online
diaries on the blogging sites. Alternatively, they can buy space
from web hosting companies to keep their blogs. Here's how you
can get started.
spaces.msn.com
MSN
Spaces is a beta blogging tool from Microsoft that is well-integrated
with a MSN Messenger Beta and Hotmail.
MSN
Messenger Beta will notify people when you've updated your blog.
Friends can preview your blog from their copy of MSN Messenger
Beta. You can also post from Hotmail.
Other
that publishing your thoughts online, you can list your recommendations
for music, travel or books, and find new friends from other blogs.
www.blogger.com
At
this free site bought over by Google two years ago, blogging is
a breeze. Create an account, name your blog and choose a design
template. If you have your own web server specify the file transfer
protocol (FTP) settings and account information during set- up
and Blogger uploads the pages
onto the server.
www.livejournal.com
A
good place for beginners. Joining the site
is free. You get basic features like user profiles, basic postings
with mood icons and privacy controls. Pay US$2 (S$3.30) a month
for more features such as surveys, custom themes, sub-domain,
e-mail address and text messaging.
www.movabletype.org
Free
for non-commercial sites, Movable
Type is an elegantly designed software with customised features
not found in Blogger. You need your own web server and domain
name.
The
free version lets you create up to three blogs, with features
such as archiving, e-mail notification and integrated file uploading.
The paid version, with online support and discounts on future
upgrades, is available for US$39.95. If you do not want the trouble
of installing any software to create your own blog, try Typepad
(www.typepad.com). It offers the full features found in Moveable
Type as well as mobile blogging for US$4.95 a month.
www.diaryland.com
This
blog site offers free online
diary hosting that will be a sure hit with all. Everything
that needs to be done during the creation process is online, so
no software download is required.
You
can customise the hypertext mark-up language coding of your website,
upload images or lock your diary. But you don't get advanced features
found in paid tools.
Brag
about your blog
Once
you have your own blog, you need to tell others about it, just
like you would if you had a personal homepage. You need to let
Web visitors surfing for a blog to find yours.
To
do this, first submit your blog's URL to regular search engines
like Yahoo and Google, as well as blog search engines like Blogdigger
(www.blogdigger.com), Bloogz
(www.bloogz.com), Technorati
(www.technorati.com) and Blog
Search Engine (www.blogsearchengine.com).
You
should also update your blog frequently to attract readers. What
you write should be succinct and use a good title or headline.
Web surfers have short attention spans, so you should grab them
the moment they reach your blog. If you ramble on and waste their
time, they'll just go on to another blog.
