Blogging Beginnings

Posted by: crtnyhks on: March 25, 2009

Now that we’re nearing the end of March, I’ve decided to finally be more topic-consistent with my posts, or at least attempt to have a “flow” among these thoughts. (Then Bill changed our assignment, so geez… what a waste!)

Of course, figuring out what to write about consistently and interestingly isn’t easy. So many interesting things are out there to ponder in a blog. How do you figure out what to write about?

As a good journalist, I turned to the ultimate source for information about blogging, the Web. It’s incredible how many books, articles and discussions have been developed about blogging.

How do you write effectively? Is one appropriate for you? What is the best way to manage a blog? How do you choose a topic? What are typical blogging manners? The list continues as readers search for more information.

I found several well-developed and helpful blogging related articles (all on blogs!), which are listed at the bottom. However, I really wasn’t surprised at most of the information. Why?

Blogging requires a few basic elements -

  • Efficient & interesting writing.
  • Topics & issues that matter to your public.
  • Transparency & ethical conduct.

Blogging is a relatively new medium, so do blogging gurus exist or are they simply effective writers? Hmm… that may be up for discussion another time.

In the meantime, check out these sites about blogging tips and guides. Perhaps they’ll help you find your ultimate blogging self.

you are right: blogging is all about the focue. One can turn one’s blog into a miscellany, a scrapbook or collection of thoughts and musings … but the more successful blogs have a definite focus and purpose. Gives readers a particular hook.
