Why people are hesitant to set up a BLOG?


I knew nothing about blogging about a month ago,i just knew that there are two top blogging services named as blogger and wordpress.I chose blogger without checking out wordpress.simply becuase i just wanted to have a go and set up a blog.i made the blog because i had nothing important to do,as im having vacations from my university.In my vacations ,im just enjoying and this blog is the part of the enjoyement.But the strange thing is that i,ve learnt alot about blogging in just one month and i only visit my blog when i have nothing else to do.It's been a very interesting journey to learn the basics of the blogging which i feel are very easy to understand.


              People are hesitant to create a blog and the primary reason for that is the TIME,secondly people think they should not waste time on something which doesnt give you anything in return until you become an expert of it and it requires TIME again.Even people who have time dont want to do blogging as they think its not a proper channel to earn money.i completely agree with these people but making money is not the reason to set up a blog.Like this blog has developed an urge in me to learn HTML and web developing,and lot of other things we can do.Blog can be your source of learning and expressing yourself and i think one cant survive without expressing the knowledge and skills.


Things i learnt in one month:


1.How to create a blog,choosing a template,writing posts,editing and formatting the posts.


2.What to put in the blog's sidebar,giving tags,embedding videos.


3.How to analyse and show your blog statistics,show recent posts,make a poll.


4.How to ping your blog to famous blog services like technocrati.


5.How to sign up for feedburner,make youtube videos and use different widgets.


6.Publicizing your blog by social networks,communities and forums.


7.How to use Adsense,where to put ads,types of ad units and different advertising services/companies.


8.How to put ads within your posts,edit the html to adjust page margins and sidebar,adding widgets inside the post.


9.How to shoe only part of the post on your homepage,adding teasers and make a menu bar.


10.Showing only the specified number of posts for different tags and labels.


These are the few of many tips and  tricks i learnt about blog writing.So the bottom line is understanding the blog basics are not difficult if you want to and it doesnt take that much of time as i told you,i only visit my blog when i have nothing else to do..SO GO FOR IT.,.
