As a 'newbie' to blogging I was both clueless and terrified of the whole phenomenon.
As such, here is my advice for creating and managing your own blog.
1. Don't be afraid to get started. Like anything blogging can be intimidating until you understand what steps to take. Jump in at the deep end and begin.
2. Research. Investigate a variety of blogging websites and get a feel for what suits your needs. These range from the basic beginner's sites to the complex for experienced users. Know you're abilites, understand your needs and choose accordingly.
3. Experiment. Play with backgrounds, font colours, pictures and formats. Trialling these things will enable you to create a blog that is individually yours.
4. Check out other people's blogs. Especially for those new to blogging, like myself, having a good look around other blogs can be a huge source of inspiration and information.
5. Keep it simple to start with. By all means try new things but don't pressure yourself into being an immediate expert. Get started and learn as you proceed.
