How do I Blog?

A blog is a short way of saying web log - it's a type of journal, usually with short bursts of information that's available on the internet.

You can use a blog for personal purposes, such as a family photo album with comments or holiday journal or for commercial purposes, to advertise your products or services.

If you want to blog, the first thing you'll need to do is set up a blogsite.

There is a small benefit to having a separate blogsite to your website, in that you can use the blogsite to drive traffic to your website, which can go to improving your results when people search for you on Google or Bing.

Depending on which software you choose depends on how you go through the process of creating, editing and publishing posts or articles.

There are several free blog hosts with templates setup for easy use. Try Blogger or Wordpress as a starting point and see how you go.

When you've set up your blogsite, you need to post articles to it.

An article is usually a few paragraphs long and can include images or links to other articles or websites.

Be prepared to write articles at least once a week to ensure regular visitors to your site and to keep your blog current and active.

If you want any information about setting up a blog, please don't hesitate to contact Enchanted Web on enquiries@enchantedweb.com.au.
