I had to do a little bit of reading before I could actually start on my new blog. What helped me is the book Blogging For Dummies by Susannah Gardner and Shane Birle. That was a great help.
Reading through the book gave the feeling that Blogs are easy to set up and publish. You need to have a goal for a good blog. The goals are;
- Setting goals for what you would like to achieve with your blog
- the number of visitors you would like to attract a day and if you would you like your visitors to leave you comments.
- One of the important aspects of a blog is to make use of good writing.
- Be active on you blog and update the blog frequently (by updating your blog frequently it will be picked up on search engines for each post you add)
- You need to interact with your reader.
All of the above seems pretty easy. The only problem I am faced with now is, what am I going to blog about?

great start to a blog wish i had used a cool name like sufferingdadof3 oh well
Why not, the sky is the limit! Thanx I still need to get my head around the whole blog thing and not to mention starting with an assignment while I have 3 papers I enrolled for this semester! O well I am a sucker for punishment!
Great to see the focus on goals – an area sometimes neglected by businesses thinking they’ll set up a social media site.
