Blog your life away

4 December 2008 - Written by Gregor MacDonald - Useful Tip

So you want to write about your life, someone else's life, or just life in general? You'll be wanting to write a Blog, then! One sticking point - you don't know how to build a blogging website from scratch. There's an easy solution that requires almost no technical web-building expertise whatsoever.

Blogging lets you get on your soap boxThere are many free blogging services out there that not only allow you to create the vehicle through which you can air your views of the world to the world, but also let you make your blog look and feel however you want it to.
 
Arguably the most common and easy-to-use blogging services are Wordpress (http://www.wordpress.com/) and Blogger (http://www.blogger.com/). Both options are free to use, although you may want to consider which one best suits your needs. Wordpress.com has a huge amount of space available to you. But while you can choose a theme for your blog, you'll need to fork out some coins if you want to make any personalised changes to the themes of Wordpress.  Blogger, on the other hand, has quite a bit less storage space but allows your own creative mind to set the style, look and feel of your site to suit your desires.
 
Go on, try creating a blog. It's fun! If you want fellow Orconites to grab a look and start spreading the word, why not tell us about your creation in the comments below.
