Start Here: Before You Blog

Why Start Blogging?

There are many reasons why you might want to blog. The word blog (a fusion of the words web and log) was originally used to describe a personal online diary. Now, blogs are more likely to provide commentary, news and in-depth information on a particular subject (a niche topic).

What to Blog about?

Find a niche topic. If you blog about anything and everything that strikes your fancy, you are less likely to build a dedicated following or become a useful online resource, than if you stick to one topic.
