Blogs have been about for about 10 years. The word stands for ’web log’ and they’re efficient online diaries. Anyone can set one up, that’s the easy part. Thinking of something interesting to say each time you blog is the tricky bit. But when you have your own domain and don’t require 3rd party free blogging sites as they are filled with advertisements and your data may be compromised. Things can always go wrong. You surely do not want to lose all those digital written memories that you have created over the years.
Before we get to the mechanics, you need to think about why you want a blog in the first place and how often you’re going to put an entry up.
Is it for a small business? People won’t thank you if it’s just going to be one long sales pitch. Is it for a club or society? Great, but do the members want to contact you online? Or is it a personal thing? In any case, how often will you be blogging and can you be sure to have something to say each time you post an entry?
This is where a web developer can help you from setting up your blog how you want it and giving it that look and feel that you would not be able to achieve on your own. Personal rebranding online and integrating your blog with other social media networks so once you publish anything on your blog it gets broadcasted to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, Google+,yahoo, Bing etc. That way your developer will automate scripts so your blog will reach out to a higher targeted audience.
Technical advice – most often blog becomes slow especially on searches and fetching results or once you have loads of posts it sort of balks down effect on the browser. That is simply because your blogs Database is not optimized and having overheads will cause your blog to be slow.
Your personal developer can fix these issues keeping your blog pages loading faster and taking your blogging experience to a further step.
You may think I can do all that is mentioned by the widgets provided and copying and pasting codes like pimping your MySpace Page.
Problem is you don’t know how it will affect all browsers, reading experience, and also when you have too many plugins and widgets running on your blog – it will definitely become slow or make old browsers crash. As much they can be fun or useful tools for your blog it may clash with other scripts and your and also blogs look and feel may be compromised.
A Word of Caution
Be careful. Just because someone’s said you can share something or put it on your blog site doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about.
Try searching for any Rihanna song on YouTube and you’ll find someone has uploaded them and ticked the ‘share with anyone’ box. But they don’t own it. So you’d be best advised to use images and videos that you own, and no others.
Keep it well written, keep it lively, tell your friends and they’ll probably tell other people. Before you know it, you’ll start growing a readership and exchanging ideas. Good luck!
Why not have your own personal web developer worry for the integration, design and functionalities for your blog web site. That way you don’t waste time building your blog but instead go right in to the creativity of publishing – posting your blog’s content.
Assuming you don’t understand or want to learn about writing websites in code, you’re probably thinking it is best off looking at one of the sites that offers free blogging. A couple of the more popular are WordPress, LiveJournal and Blogger. Others are available but with limited features and so you cannot take it to a step closer to what other bloggers may be able to do. Most free blog websites only allow certain functionalities and you are limited due to security issues and protection from malicious web attacks. Plus most of these will offer you a free blog site with its own address – so it becomes, for example,http://www.yourblog.blogsite.com/. This is the address you give friends who might want to take a look. And with your own personal web blog you have it as you wish – like – yourname.co.uk or yourname.com.

That way you are not only blogging but branding yourself and your content. It would artistically portray who you are and what you represent visually.
A web developer will then fuse the theme to your blog engine. Putting and scripting all those customized functionalities that you may want on your blog website.
