I have been asked by a few friends of mine..about blogging.. So, today I would be discussing on how to get started with blogging. Hope this turns out to be helpful for the ones who are serious about blogging.
What is a blog?
Blog, which is the shortened version of a weblog, is like a personal diary, wherein you can express your thoughts. Many would like to use it to publish contents for general public consumption and this inturn might inspire many to earn from their blogs...

Well..why not?? 
How to get started with your blog?
This is indeed a very tricky question, since the first thing you need to figure out is - what do you want to talk about. What do you want to publish for your viewers to read? Well...It could be anything ..any topic under the sun that you are comfortable with and that you love talking about.
Find your niche!
Once you are done with that, decide on the specifications that you would like to work on. Make your topic clear and specific and most importantly categorize them. This would help you decide the name of your blog. For example, if you are an animal lover and want to make a blog for animals, then you can "google" on pets and see what are the different search items that come up. You can "google" to find out the related search in forums, since forums are platforms where a topic of interest would be discussed.
You can then select the ones that people usually hunt for. Next, read some related articles on the net on the topics that you have identified. After you have enough articles, you can organize them and then proceed on planning your layout and where you want your topics to be placed. The best way to sort things out with blogs, is, to figure out how other blogs are arranged - this would give you a rough idea. Check how they have arranged their items, how have they used their ideas etc
Third, choose a template layout from the blog provider tools and customize your blog the way you want it to look like, which would also reflect you blog topic.
If you have many pages, then make sure navigability is easier. Now you can organize your topics into labels and categories and start posting your articles. Fourth, have a blog up wherein you post original content worth reading. Research on the net since this would add some spice to your recipe and make it an up-to-date article. Don't have too may pictures as this make your blogs slower to upload. How to create blogs? Creating a weblog is easy and convenient...
