Blogger Basics

----------I guess you guys might have signed up with blogger after reading my previous post "Blog Who?". Now in this post we will be learning about "Blogger Basics" and the points which we are going to discuss in this post are; I won't say, the secrets of blogging your way to success, in fact I consider them to be the base or foundation on which you must build your blog. So you better take this seriously.

----------First thing first, you must decide which type of AUDIENCE you want to attract. Be very specific it should not be like the people between the age of 18 to 25, No that's not the way the audience that you want to attract should have same taste, like for example you can attract the people who loves movies by writing reviews or you can write game reviews and attract gamers but don't try to review both movies and games and make a review site ok. What actually happens is that ok let me explain you this way We can't make every one happy but We can make the one close to Us, so even if you are posting good game and movie reviews the person posting only game or movie review will be posting better content then you. If you have still not understood then try to match the review of two sites one doing only movie reviews and the other doing movie and other reviews. As you focus on only one type of content you get better and better in posting articles on that content and as you will have less to post your site will be more updated then a site that posts anything and every thing. This also increases your visitors loyalty, visitors loyalty means that your visitors will return to your site, because they will be sure that the movie they are going to watch must have been reviewed by you.

----------You must give your blog an ADEQUATE NAME. If you are writing about nature then the name should be like Nature's call or Mother Nature but not techno freaks or Geeks.

----------PLANING AHEAD. We must plan our site from its content to its design. We must be sure about the format in which we are going to post. You must know where you are going to add the images if you plan to add them in your post. You must decide what should be the size of your main content area, that is, the width of you post area. Whats going to be your header image, background image, etc. When you have planned all of this, and even more if you can, try to choose a colour scheme for your blog if you are not able to then tell me about your content type I will give you the colour schemes, My animation studies should come to some use after all, when done selecting colour schemes try to choose a theme from the default blogger themes that matches your colour scheme. Don't go and download any free Blogger themes cause I will be teaching you how to edit default blogger themes and personalize them.

----------For now just plan them and then create your blog, if you already have created one continue with it but if you have not posted any content on it or have created it just recently it will be better to create a new one. For reference you can check out this blog Creatures For You.

----------In our next post, Basic Things To Rember, we will learn the points that we should remember before editing a blog template.

Knock knock Who's there? Blog. Blog who?...

----------hi guys this is my second post, my first post was about "You,me and Blog" and today I will try to explain you "Blog who?..".

----------The first thing you should understand is that a blog or a website is like a house and every house requires a land to be built on, similarly a blog or a website requires a web space to be placed on or you can say hosted on. A web space is basically like your hard disk it stores the data that is present in your website, now you may be thinking that why don't I host my blog or site on my hard disk and if by any way possible you are able to do so your blog or site will work but only till the time your computer is switched on as soon as you will switch it off the visitors will start getting errors (similar to page 404 you might have noticed) and in this global warming era it won't be humanly to keep your PC's running 24/7. So, this web spaces need to be created on a server. A server is running 24/7 except during its maintenance and other things. There are many sites that provide you or hosts your websites some of them are free while some of them are not. Well I don't know why everyone has a feeling that the price of a service or a product is directly proportional to its quality value, these people are like the higher they have to pay the better the service. If you are one of these dumbos then you probably got some brains in that nut head. I'm not saying that free services are bad its just that there are very few free services out there that are good; but even these services will either add their id in your url (thats your site address) like for example you want your site url to be I-am-a.in and the name of the service you have chosen is Sucker then the link created will be I-am-a.Sucker.in ( I didn't meant to make you say that lol sorry if it hurted your feelings and if not then you must be one). What I mean to say is that in free services there is always a catch and obviously if I will go to such a site I will definitely come to know from the link that Sucker is a free hosting service and I may leave your site and build my own so what happens is that you not only loses a visitor you also give birth to a competitor, so choose wisely and read the whole legal shit because some times they have rules like they will be posting ads on your site or it would be like this that you will have to pay after a certain amount of time period and if you won't you will lose the site. but if you are a blogger, that you must be if you are on this site you have a benefit cause for bloggers there are many trusted and reputed blog providers out there. My personal favourite is Google's Blogger yep it also throws in its id in the url but except for that it really is worth building your blog on.

----------A blog is like your file log or, for some of the nut heads that keep on posting their daily shits on blogs, life log or better shit log( yeak I just imagined it). Well a blog is quite easy to handle and lookafter then a site. You don't need to know any computer languages or any html, java stuff. The blogs are said to have push button publication. The reason for that is simple, you can post by just pressing a button you can choose your template, you can add images by a button and also videos to your post with lots of widgets (We will learn about widgets later) to add to your blog with just a push of a button.

----------A blog is not only a place where you can post your daily life's nonsense shit, with dedicated hard work you can even earn your bread and butter from it yep believe me there are many bloggers out there that blog for 2 to 4 hours and are able to earn a fine income. Slowly and steadily I will cover that topic.

----------I hope that by now you would have created your blog or atleast considered of doing it. If yes is your answer you definitely need to work on the basics first. So Blogger Basics is what we will be covering in our next post.

You, Me and Blogs.

----------Hi guys my name is Aditya Sharma and I'm a Blogger since a long long time and have started and ended about 12 blogs; Ya, you heard it 12. In the making and breaking of all these blogs the most hardest part was neither the blog design nor the content; instead it was something that I didn't even thought could possibly waste all my efforts of the last few years. Trust me as soon as you are through this post you will understand what I am talking about and no doubt weather you are a newbie in the blogging world or are just another blogger out there, who is still struggling in this blogospere, you definitely might have passed through these same experiences.  that makes your blog stand out. The first thing that you should know is that your blog design complements your blog but your blogs success depends only on the quality of content that you provide to your blog visitors and believe me there are thousands of blogs out there providing quality contents, to win this rat race and get to the top you will have to give your visitors something more then just quality content.

----------I promise :

* to provide you the information and support that you need to provide the additional reasons to your visitors to keep them coming again and again to your blog.

* to provide you the information and support that you need to profit from your blogs which includes advertising, working as an affiliate, selling your own products or selling products from ebay or amazon.

* to provide you the links to the best yet free services which could be useful to your blog.

* to fulfill the requests that you can make at our request pages. You can request about any information related to blogging.

----------While providing you the information regarding many advertising sites, widget sites, etc the links that I will post may contain my referral ids as I'm providing you with all the support and information that you will need I would appreciate if you would not edit the links or remove my referral ids from it.

----------And the best thing is the BLOGS of my Blog Members will be automatically added to my blog lists and the top ten blogs will be featured on my top blog widget in the side bar and until I build a good number of members I will post the blogs of all the members.

----------Now a word of advice, a blog is not some ATM machine OK, so don't expect to get profits out of your blog with in a day's or month's work. You must be dedicated towards your blogs and as the saying goes---
