Blogging 

Private Blog or Business Blog

If you are new to Blogging, hopefully this Squidoo Lens will help get you started. There is so much information on the Internet, you will never be lost for an answer or solution. These views are personal and there are many other views you can follow.

The easiest way is to start a Blog, is to use www.blogger.com which is part of the Google network of companies.

First you have to decide what you want your Blog for. Sounds easy, but these things develop into something different over time. Is it a private Blog about you or your hobby or is it part of news organisation, charity or environmental group, or maybe it is part of your overall marketing strategy.

Owning your own Blog and being part of the world community, is a very satisfactory way to spend a few minutes every week.

If you do not have the time, do not like writing, then don't own a Blog

Finding the right Blogs needed, is now solved 

If you are like me, you have a hobby or are interested in following a favourite team, or even the latest news, finding the Blog that suits you can be difficult. Searching on a major search eng can be time consuming.

What I have found is a piece of software the solves the problem for me. There is a free trail version. Give it a try, you have everything to gain. Visit the website

Examples of different types of Blogs 

Did you know that you create a Newsfeed and then use this direct into your webpage or Blog. Every news stream you create, is a potential link back to your main website. You just have to keep doing it very frequently.

Creating a posting once every 2-3 months is not good, every other day and about 1-2 paragraphs is the best, naturally with keywords in the text.

Wikipedia's definition 

A blog (a contraction of the term "web log")Weblogs: A History And Perspective, Rebecca Blood, September 7, 2000. is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog''.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (Video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.
