I will like to start blogging as in have my own blog but I have no clue on how to start and all that it entails, does anyone have experience in blogging ? pls share any useful tips.

Google blogger.
They have the simplest instructions and tutorials you can think of.

You should be good to go in minutes

I use wordpress. but if your trying to make money google is the better route.

Never tried WordPress. I know when Ben did he had problems with the feed not being picked up by other blogs and not updating.

Thanks guys! so its something I can do by myself ?

Yes

What are you going to blog about?

It's pretty easy to use for my basic needs, can't say how it works for high traffic blogs and those with feeds and such.

Hi there,

I've been blogging semi-professionally (i.e. alongside my day job) for the last seven years. The business I've built off the back of it is funding my Canada emigration in March.

Wordpress really is the way to go. You can start small (and free) while you experiment with your blog design and writing style/content and then build up as quickly or as slowly as you wish.

The best advice I can give you is to have a play at Wordpress.com, don't put any pressure on yourself to be as popular as the Huffington Post in your first few weeks (or months, or years!) and have fun sharing your thoughts!

Always happy to help with any Wordpress/website queries (if I can!)

Good luck!
Terry

So you have. Unfortunately, I've also just noticed that your username is your domain name, which is against site rules.

Please email admin for a username change asap, many thanks.

Really? Whoops - wasn't aware. Will amend - thx.

Yep - rule 11. But just email Admin using the 'contact us' button and the lovely Sue will sort it for you.

Thx.

I have used BlogSpot in the past. Extremely easy to use lots of templates to choose from and an idiots guide to setting it up. (which was need in my case!!)

I have quite a few thoughts but will like to write about Calgary( events,news,etc)
