Hi my name is jax, long-time reader, first-time blogger! ;)
My top 5 tips for new bloggers in no particular order:
Have something to say
There is nothing worse than having your fingers poised over the keyboard ready to type but your brain isn't co-operating by sending down earth-shattering, intensely compelling or even mildly diverting content.
Try to come up with a unique name for your blog
Very frustrating getting the "name not available" message until you just put any old thing in and then wake up the next morning with "silly name for my domain" remorse.
Read other blogs
Become inspired by the discussion, delusions, rantings and ramblings of other bloggers.
Short & Sweet
A little - often, is much better than a lot - sometimes ;)
Who will host your blog?
If I did put these points into any sort of order, this one would be at the top! Using a site like blogger.com to host your own blog couldn't be simplier for a complete blogging novice like me. You can create, edit, design your own blogorld (have I just made up a new word for blog world? woooo woooo - oooops, see above point about "short & sweet"!) and the best part is it's free!!!
