Before you go to the site you have chosen-- for example, Blogger, which I described in the previous post, I suggest that you decide on your blog's name and a short line or 'blurb', describing your blog's purpose. Perhaps you should decide and even write something for your profile-- should you want to have one-- about yourself, your family or your group.
You should also decide how much personal information you want to post, remembering that what you write could be used to find out more personal information. See blogs and privacy.
Also, when you set it up the site, you can determine who can view it, or even password protect it.
- You might want to think what digital photos you may use-- as part of your profile or your first posts-- and put them in a 'for my blog' folder. You can even add links to your online photo albums to any photo or story you post . (Like this)

- Now, jump in and your blog should be ready to start filling with your news and links in minutes.
- To keep people coming to your online journal-- which is the idea, right?-- post as often as possible, and keep the posts small-- bite sized-- and don't forget to spell-check-- that's built in also.
- [note: BTW- Please point out any errors on my blog in 'comments' ; )Thanks!]
- Now I want to go back to the Wordpress Blog that I started. I have another project that I think would fit better on Wordpress, as they offer website-like pages in addition to the standard blogging format. I'll tell you how it goes and give you a link when it's ready! Happy blogging!
