Intro To Fun Blogging

Terasa nak share the how to start blogging pulak. Love doing it so much and w'like to assist others to catch up. Here's what's needed:

Generally to have fun at a computer:

• PC with internet connectionlah kan, a headphone and speakers, a lot of USB ports
• A digital camera, printer scanner - normally these gadgets comes with their own application simple enough for photo/doc editing and printing
• antivirus (use AVG for free, that's what i use)
• microsoft office for your basic text work, spreadsheeting and presentation
• music player so u can download and play yr favourite songs

• A Search engine - i just use Yahoo - make it your default home page and start surfing
• an email account (i use yahoo!mail, good and reliable)
• Facebook or myspace etc or other groups - u'd need yr email account to start
• U can also do serious stuff on line u know like banking, job search and other business.

For blogging:

• A blog account, I prefer free, reliable and easy to use - Blogger (u'll get a http://.....blogspot.com account)
• Advertise your blog - MyBlog, put yr blog address at you email signature, join other blog direktories, social networking (Facebook, MySpace etc), social groups
• Make your blog interesting with gadgets and widgets, colors and designs (from Pyzam), slideshows, shoutbox and guestbook to interact with visitors, music player
• Post regularly.

Once yr done and start getting visitors, it's worth the effort when they start to comments. The good ones really will make your day!! Happy Blogging!!
