How To Start Blogging
If you’re reading this you certainly are aware of "blogs". You may even have one (or more) of your own. But, what if you want to start blogging and don’t know where to start? Or, what if you just don’t want to take the time to setup all the details to get it up and going?
Well, I have a resource for you HERE….
Before starting though you may want to ask yourself, "why do I want to start a blog"?
Here are some reasons I’m aware of:
- Websites are now considered "static" info
- Blogs are interactive and easy to maintain yourself
- Because they’re interactive and info changes frequently the search engines love them. (Doesn’t hurt to get more exposure!)
- You can get more personable with your audience
What type of Blog layout interests you?
- Personal, Business, Combined
- 2 Column, or 3 Column
- Bright, flashy color schemes or more subdued
- If you know who your target audience will be, this might determine colors, and style used
The resource I recommend to get you up and rolling is the Whole Hog Blogs . They can help you with defining those answers, plus more. Also, tell them Janet sent you!
Please leave a comment and let me know if you have set your Blogs up yourself or who may have assisted you 
Until next time, J.

I looked over your site and learned quite a lot. Can you answer me a question? Are labels on my blog keywords. Do search engines pick up words that are posted in the blog. I’m new to marketing blog. Thanks

Hi Janet!
I did start a blog that you may be aware of if you’ve followed any of the links from my site: http://www.BeesCause.blogspot.com.
It was actually pretty easy to set up, etc., and I did have fun doing it.
But as you know, it’s all about traffic. Which is where the resource you mentioned, Whole Hog Blogs, makes the difference.
I think it’s safe to say that we’re both well-satisfied members!

Hi Roy! My understanding is that everything is search engine friendly with a blog - your tags, your categories, etc. My own research of my blog listed in Google is evidence that they are all picked up. Hope this helps!
Hi Brad! You bet!
