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.
