Hi guys. Thanks for the advice on the proxies a couple of days back, I'm going to do that after my summer break, but in the mean time: I'm thinking of making a blog. Or a few blogs. Basically, my summer break is coming up soon and I want to get some money together during that 6 week break, and it seems a good way to do it is writing a blog. But I'm a bit stuck as to what to write it on, and how to structure it. If anyone has any FREE examples of blogs please PM me them or something, as I would love to read them to get some ideas. Shall i just write it about something I know well, but will maybe have a reasonably small audience? Or should I learn something new and delve a bit deeper. How would I go about setting up blogs? I know about hosting, domains etc, but it's the template that gets me. I'm not very technical. At All. So I would want someone to basically make the actual site for me (I'd deal with hosting/domains) so I could just go on my site and click 'Add Blog' and it would be easy. How much would it cost me to hire someone to make this site for me?? And How many sites should I be looking at getting? Again, if you have a blog, please post it up so I can look at it Thanks in advance Simon
the free blog, will they give me eay to use templates for free? wont my site be worth more/get more views etc if i have a custom template? i plan to put adsense on it... does blogger give you the opportunity to use a domain??
Wordpress has some nice templates which are free with good google ad placement. To start with, download wordpress then choose a template. When this is uploaded to your server you can just start adding content. You may want to get a custom template after you start earning from it. Custom templates can cost anything from $50-$150.
Hey, I would suggest starting with one BLOG and get that one going well with lots of content and then add another BLOG and so on... I think it would be tough to try to get three or four going at once. I think they would all suffer from lack of content. Wordpress was very easy to set up and the Tech support is very good. I just started a BLOG that you can have a look at if you like http://makeinternetadvertisingeasy.com I still have a lot of content to add but I'm getting there. Good luck with it. Bob
Thanks for the replies. Sorry canuckbob but that link isn't working??? Anyone with more exmaples??? Sporting ones especially, but any I would love to look at
if your beginner blogger just register @ blogger.com by far one of the easiest to manage and create and here is an entire directory of free templates to choose from if you dont like any of the default ones at blogger.com, very easy to change to as well finalsense.com
For beginners, free blog is good to learn things, once you get knowledge go for your own domain name and hosting yourself.
i know all about domains/hosting. im more interested in what I would put for the actual content of a blog.... hence wanting examples...
So you are needing someone to make you a template? Which software are you using, I might be able to do it for a small fee. (Less than $20 probably) Thanks, -Ryu
i could show you my blogs if you PM me they will give you a good idea about blogging and some content
