The Road to Blogging

I spent a lot of time the last few weeks researching Blogs. I found information on do's and don'ts, rules and regulations, on set-ups and redos. I checked out solo blogs, group blogs and company blogs. I compared half a dozen help you start it up sites and when I decided I had absorbed all I could I set a date.

I learned a couple of important things along the way. 1) It is not easy to set up. It takes time. Sure they ask all the right questions and give you lots of items to pick from but this is important and you don't want to make the wrong choice. Colors, fonts, and pictures give you lots of options. But don't worry there are lots of edit buttons to help with last minute changes. 2) I'm hooked. My blog favorites list went from three to thirty. So beware the drain on your writing time. 3) What a great way to connect! Learn new things, catch up with favorite authors, find new links and just have some fun.

Do you have any helpful hints to make blogging life easier for this first timer?
