Blogging For The First Time

I have heard so much about blogging, but I never really understood it. I intend to take blogging into my own hands and all I want to know is... Who's coming with me?

Lets start with what is a blog? Blogs are short for web logs, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject, while others function as more of a personal online diary. I've read that you can also make money while you blog by using such tools as Ad sense. I have found many success stories on making money while blogging. I intend to find out if there is any truth in such stories. (Follow me and click my ads! )

I am a homemaker with three..., I mean four, wonderful children (I'm married). Using the internet is a big part of my daily routine. Some people have no ideal of the benefits that are at their fingertips. It helps me with everything from making meals, shopping, and schooling, to paying bills, making money, and even finding and connecting with relatives. All the research I have done lately shows that blogging can have many advantages. I like to think of the blogging community as people helping people.

I was previously under the impression that you had to have your own web site to blog. That is not necessarily true. You can sign up with Blog spots that give you a web page of your own to blog about whatever you desire. In the future I will blog about anything I have experienced in my life and any expertise that I can share. I hope my blogs are helpful to anyone who reads them.

Blogging can be very simple if you do your research and don't be afraid to just "dive in". Don't forget to read other blogs and frequently comment on them. Be social in the blogging community and you will get more visitors to your blogs, and gain more incite into how the blogging community works.

Well, I'm off to continue my journey into the lovely world of blogging. I hope the information I have provided was helpful. Happy blogging!
