A Technology Blog That People Will Visit

One of the most popular ways to tell people about your life is by keeping a weblog, or blogging. Blogging can involve journal-like entries about your life, a subject you know about, photos or a combination of all three. Read on to learn some good ways to keep your blog engaging to readers and perhaps, even make yourself a little money.

Use fonts that are easy to read throughout the blog. While you may wish to use different fonts for the title, posts, and links on your site, all should be readable. Ensure that the size is not to small, and that the contrast to the background is sufficient to differentiate between it and the text.

Set goals for your blog. Having set goals that you want to achieve will go along way towards increasing your productivity. Decide how many posts you want to make in a given week. Determine what your focus is going to be and what keywords you are going to be targeting. Taking the time to work out your goals, will keep you on focus and blogging productively.

There are many good blogging platforms available with Blogger and WordPress being the most commonly used services. Both are great free platforms that allow one to quickly set up a blog for free. Blogger has the advantage of allowing commercial content whereas with WordPress you must upgrade to a premium service to post commercial content. Let your purpose for blogging be your guide when choosing a blogging platform.

If you have a talent with graphics, create a regular cartoon that depicts something related to your content. No matter what you blog about, people enjoy laughing and looking at the lighter side of things. If you don't have the skills, perhaps you have someone in your social circle who would work with you.

Blogging is about writing. If you don't like to write, you probably won't enjoy blogging. But if you've never tried writing, you may have an as yet undiscovered talent that you would enjoy. So try writing a few practice blog posts. Write about something interesting to you. If you enjoy writing, then blogging may be for you!

Blogging can be a fun and interesting hobby. It helps you to express yourself and can even be profitable if you decide to "monetize" it. The key is to stick with it and keep it up regularly. Consider it as a diary of your life or interests, and stay engaged.
