Blogging 101
by Marianne Powers
Are you ready to start blogging?
Marianne Powers will conduct a class that will get you blogging five minutes after you get home and log in to the internet. You will walk away with copies of screen prints and detailed instructions for one of the most popular blog services, Blogger.
Blogs are your personal connection to everyone else in the world – readers, agents, editors, other writers. And they’re free!
Services like Blogger give you a free web address, free server space, a choice of free templates, free archiving, and free comments for your readers. Marianne will go through all of these steps:
Setting up an account in Blogger
Choosing your blog server
Choosing a template
Allowing comments
Creating your first post
Marianne will also give tips on getting your blog noticed, such as:
Sign up right away for the SouthWest Writers link to your webpage!
Titles are important to search engines, choose wisely.
Use the keywords you want people to search for.
Update your content often, or at least regularly.
Put an RSS feed on your webpage.
Search for other blogs on your topic and, if you like them, link to them and ask them to link to you.
Read other blogs on your topic regularly and post courteous (pertinent and short) comments – these are links back to your website.
When posting comments to other blogs, use “Other” instead of your Blogger identity so that the link goes straight to your blog instead of to your profile.
Don’t miss this chance to learn how to become an internationally published writer!
