Why You Need to Know How to Blog

By Peter Gitundu

A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.

Many blogs focus on an exacting topic, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Generally speaking blogs tend to have a few things in common: A main content area with articles listed chronologically, newest on top. Often, the articles are organized into categories, a place for people to leave comments about the articles. A list of links to other related sites, sometimes called a "blog roll". A lot of blogs feature an archive based on dates. The front page of a blog may feature a calendar of dates linked to daily archives. Archives can also be based on categories featuring all the articles related to a specific category.

Starting a new blog is different and this can put many people off, there are then other people who have blogs with no comments or visits. You want to stand out from this crowd of millions of loggers; you want to be one of the few hundred thousand blogs that are actually visited. So if you want lucrative blogging. Post regularly, but don't post if you have nothing worth posting about stick with only a few specific genres to talk about. Don't put 'subscribe' and 'vote me' links all over the front page until you have people that like your blog enough to ignore them. Use a clean and simple theme if at all possible. And mostly enjoy blog for fun, comment on other people's blogs as they normally visit back.
