Hello friends. I’ve decided to start a series to help those
interested in blogging. I’ll be sharing these lessons at least twice a week.
Please feel free to ask questions and share your views.
Today, we’re starting with an Introduction. As with every
introduction, we’ll start with definitions. Let’s define “Blogging”.
What is Blogging?
Blogging is what a Blogger does…Lol. Okay seriously,
Blogging essentially means maintaining a Blog.
So, what’s a Blog? A blog
is a type of website that is updated regularly with new content. Essentially,
a blog is just a space on the Web that
you can create to record and express your opinions, experiences, and interests.
Who can maintain a
Blog?
Anyone with a functional email address and internet
connections can maintain a blog (and become a Blogger).
Why do Bloggers Blog?
Technorati.com
conducted a survey of more than 4,000 bloggers asking them why they blog. Here
are some of the most common responses:
- To share my experiences and expertise
- To speak up about an issue I care about
- To become more involved with my hobbies and passions
- To advance my career or start a career in writing
- To keep my family and friends updated about my life
Actually, I find all those responses relevant to why I blog.
For me, the major reason why I blog is just because I CAN! Blogging helps me stay sane while stuck in Lagos traffic. I
even blog about whatever I experience while on the road. You can read my Tales
From The Road at kneekey2.blogspot.com. I also share whatever words of
inspiration I receive at adenikewrites.blogspot.com. Enough about me…Tell me,
why are you (interested in) blogging?
You know a good number of us in Nigeria became more
interested in blogging after we heard that celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji,
bought a home in Banana Island and she made the money from blogging. Chai…”Show
me the money”, we all screamed. AMA heard your cries and has decided to do just
that. I read up a bit and I learnt about a few ways to make money while
blogging. I have to warn you, though, that it’s not as easy as the movies make
it seem. It takes dedication and a lot of hard work.
