Types of Blogs the concept of starting a new blog

When I first started to blog I really had no idea what I was doing. I decided to try out the many different types of “free” blog platforms. At first I tried Blogger.com and enjoyed it as I learned how to use it. Then I also created another personal blog on Livejournal.com. The name itself helped me to create a journal of daily things on my mind. It was easy to figure out and this was over five years ago. Three others that I have tried are Blog.com, InsaneJournal.com, and My favorite WordPress.com. I have more than one personal blog now on WordPress as it’s my favorite to use and easy now that WordPress.tv was created. The videos have helped me to learn the many features inside the WordPress.com blog. Included on the page where you first set up your appearance is a Dashboard. This is where the blogger can go to set up their blog in a personal way fit to their personality. Below the Dashboard:

Upgrades

Posts

Media

Links

Pages

Comments

Feedback

Ratings

Polls

Appearance

Users

Tools

Each one of these mentioned above has a “function” that is really neat. The first thing I did was set up the appearance where I can choose a “theme” suited for what I like. WordPress has so many wonderful “themes” to choose from and you can change them anytime you want.

Now that I have joined in the postadaychallenge2011.com I have learned so much more about blogging. I also pay for a wordpress.org site: http://getreadingnow.com which is something I am working on. I chose that title because I love to read but am need any suggestions and comments to that site? Here are my other two blogs if you are interested. http://getreadingnow.wordpress.com/ and http://whatireadtoday2011.wordpress.com/.

 

Two new blogs I have made buddies with:

  4. I’m amazed that you have three blogs…even if the other 2 are just in case ones!

    That cartoon made me laugh - thanks for sharing that

  6. This blog is my main concern the others are just “in case” blogs. I love to read so they are more on that type of blogging. My brain never seems to shut off.

  7. Hi Jackie, you are one amazing woman! Just how do you keep up with all your blogs.

  8. The more the merrier, Jackie!
    I ditched a couple today. I bought a Theme package and I can’t download them properly. Wordspress 3.1 is not open-able no matter what I do. Uuuugh.
    I am convinced that video is the way to go. like…(CatholicStoryVideos) as soon as I can install my new themes. Take care.

  9. Well done! I can barely keep up with 1 blog and writing my novel!

  10. You got more blogs? Holy smokes. I can’t keep up with one.

  11. youtube, flickr, wordpress - I am glad to have the possibility to combine …

  12. How do you keep up with three blogs Jackie? I struggle with one!
    I am so happy that I decided to use WP because I find it relatively easy to use, and I love the inter-action of being able to comment on each other’s blogs.

  13. Lady, you are busy!!! Three blogs? Wow! This is a lovely post on the basics of the WP platform which we love.
    That cartoon was also saucy and funny.
    Thank you,
    Eliz
