Writing a blog is the same as keeping a diary - except that your entry is published on the web and accessible by a whole bunch of online readers. What you write about is completely your choice - famous bloggers like Salam Pax wrote about life during the Iraq war, online culinary diva Clotilde Dusoulier runs a cooking blog and our very own Nils van der Linden writes about the characters he finds on Cape Town¿s streets.
Who you tell about your blog is also your own choice. But being open to the public is what makes blogging such an addictive pastime - immediately affording you an international audience!
To try your hand at blogging, follow these simple steps:
STEP ONE: Register
Before you can begin blogging, you need to set up a blogger's account.
Simply fill in your real name, the name you wish to write under (display name), your email address and password.
STEP TWO: Add a blog
Get your blog started by clicking "add a blog".
Give it a title, and a short introductory summary and then start the body of
your blog.
STEP THREE: Blog on
Add to your blog, edit your blog and invite your friends to read it. Enjoy!
