Learn How To Blog For Newbies Day 5

Now, with your WordPress set up and your theme installed, you are ready to blog. You know, I was all excited when I first started how to blog with my first website called SphereScreen.com.

Naturally, I started doing research on the generic name of Sphere Screen and guess what? The technology is still at its infancy and I have no idea when the technology will take off. So I did the next best thing. With the help of my friend, I have decided to put in the latest technology happening of displays that may one day incorporated into the futuristic Sphere Screen.

Here are a few steps you would have to take when you want to post content into your website.

1. Plan Your Theme

What I am trying to say is, decide on the theme before you even start writing. Plan ahead. Many new bloggers make a mistake of writing about anything that crosses their mind.

Without a proper theme to guide you, your blog will run a danger of turning into a dumpsite of incoherent contents. One day you may write about your hobby, the next day, you might just decide to post in something about your cat. I am not saying this is wrong if your main intention is to talk about your lifestyle. Just take a few days to think about this.

2. Research Your Content

Ok ok I know you are already an expert in what ever you want to blog about. However, that doesn’t mean that you need not further your knowledge about your topic of interest. You can find out more about the latest news regarding your interest from various sources of information. When I want to research on LCD display for example, I get my information from Digg.com, zdnet.com, technologyreview.com among others.

3. Be Original

Never duplicate word for word from other writers’ content into your blog. Apart from running the risk of infringement, you are doing a disservice to your valuable blog site. Words spread fast in the World Wide Web and if your contents are just mere duplication of other people’s work, your traffic would be limited.

4. Add Value

Your blog is an extension to the knowledge you want to share with your readers. As a result, your content should add values to their lifestyle. For example,  individuals with anxiety attack would loves a blog that tells them  how to solve their problems. AnxietyAttack.org would be good website for these group of individuals.

5. A Good Title

A good title has the power to pull or push readers way from your blog post. The keywords in your title enable search engines to crawl to your blog.
