Finally, it starts here…
Hi fellow blog audience! (albeit yet non-existent, as I’m aware)
I’ve finally managed to get this whole blogging business a’ rollin’. As a matter of fact, I’ve bought the hosting services for this blog over 2 months ago, so… let’s just say I wasn’t always in the mood for sitting down in front of the computer and making my “first step” into the personal blog universe. It’s good that I’ve decided to buy the domain name before going officially online, cause I’ve also had second thoughts for some time on that subject…
I know that this site still seems kinda generic (not many gizmos, standard wordpress layout, etc.), but this generic-ness is the fault of my own laziness and the fact that my first plan of what I intended to do in order to start blogging looked like this:
- Get a web host, domain, install wordpress
- Get all the gadgets, set a good layout and all the jibba-jabba
- Start posting
To put things short, let’s say I got stuck in the second point. After laying low for a while, I’ve started reading some articles on blog-related vortals. People there (experienced bloggers) reminded me in their articles what’s the whole essence and most important thing in the blog - content!
I’ve decided to change the plan so that point 2 and 3 would change places :). That was like a week ago. Since then I’ve tried to write my first post, but just couldn’t! It’s hard to tell why… I hope that after this “first step” I’ll have the motivation to continue on writing on a more daily basis.
I still have to do the basics: write the “about me” page, put up some starters post categories, some links to useful and topic-oriented sites. I think I’ll manage to finish these things today. After that I’ll try and put up the mentioned “gizmos”, but I can’t tell when will I have the spare time to look for and test these things on the site, so mostly I’ll stick to posting content.
