Do You Swear on Your Blog?

March 8, 2010 in Blogging | View Comments

Do you ever drop an F-bomb on your blog? Sometimes it’s called for, sometimes it’s just inappropriate, and for some people it’s just a natural way to express themselves. It’s for you to decide how you want to express yourself. You will probably want to decide what type of audience you want to have before you decide to drop an F-bomb on your blog. Profanity may be funny but only to certain readers. I guess it’s how you use it.

How Do You Start Your Day?

March 3, 2010 in Ramblings | View Comments

How does your daily routine start? What are the things you do when you get up? I found myself doing pretty much the same routine every morning lately. There are a few things I can’t start the day without. As a blogger who has a full time job, I try to be as efficient as possible.

My day starts with a breakfast (doh!), nice cup of tea and some bread with Nutella. I eat Nutella every morning. It’s the only thing I can eat in the morning. Yes, I may be crazy.

Over time you may have left one of your blogs to die. And after some months or even years later you have decided to start blogging again. I’ve done it too. As you may know I have started this blog over a year ago, then I stopped posting for various reasons a few months later. And this year I wanted to start blogging more actively again.

Why Did You Start Blogging?

February 23, 2010 in Blogging | View Comments

I’m on short with time today, so instead of making a long blog post, I’ll ask you a question. But let me first answer it myself.

Why did I start blogging? My very first blog (which does not exist anymore) was about making money, because I wanted to make money online. That was over 3 years ago. I thought it’d be as easy as putting some ads on the sidebar. Pathetic, I know. I learned the truth quickly and lost interest soon.

I started this blog, because I like to share my thoughts with people that have same interests and I like to write. And making a little money while doing this is nice too, even tho’ this is not primary goal of this blog.

Why did you start blogging? I’d be interested to hear your initial motivation to start a blog.

What it Takes to Start a Successful Blog

Many of us start blogging about something that is our passion and we want everyone else to be as excited about it as we are. It is surprising, however, that many people have no plans regarding what they want to achieve with their blog. Sometimes it is difficult to set exact goals, but I will share with you what I have learned so far and how you can use that knowledge when starting a new blog, or restarting an old one like I did with this blog in January.

I like to keep things short and simple. So here’s the list of 7 steps to start a successful blog.

February 16, 2010 in Blogging | View Comments

With all the hype about Google Buzz lately, I can’t get away without a post about it, can I? If you lived under a rock the last week, you might want to check what Google Buzz is here.
