If you'd asked me a week ago, I would have said that blogs were just for personal
journals, nothing more. But now I know that blogs can be so much more!
journals, nothing more. But now I know that blogs can be so much more!
While some people do have a blog just to record their daily activities, others blog about
their travels or some adventure they are having. This blog is about Alexander's adventures while traveling through Europe.
People also have blogs to connect with others who share their values or beliefs, be they
political, religious, or social. This blog is about the benefits of homeschooling children.
Some people or companies, such as M&M's have blogs to help grow their business or to promote their brand of product or service.
Performers also use blogs to connect with their fans and build their fan base. One of my
favorite singing groups, Jedward, has a blog to keep fans all over the world apprised of
their schedule of performances and release dates for their songs and albums.
I have discovered that there are a lot of different reasons to have a blog. And now I am
inspired to start one of my own!
So, now that I want to make my own blog, where do I start? Fortunately, the decision
has been made for me. (Thanks, Mark!) But if I were on my own I would start by
checking out two of the oldest and most popular blog hosts:
Wordpress.com
Blogger.com
Other popular sites include: Tumblr, Posterous, Xanga, and Weebly. But there are so
many more!
I found a list of over forty free blogs with descriptions. One example is: "Blogabond.com - a site dedicated to travel blogs with map integration and more."
One blog's graphic I really like (and have no idea how they made it) is the one for Arts
Beat. Very cool!
Some blogs I really like are:
Miss Yellow Shoes (this is done by my son Mike's fiance, Brittany)
