Blogging Tip# 2 Choosing a Blog Hosting Site?

Blogger and wordpress logo

Wordpress and Blogger are the two most popular blogging sites out there. I use Blogger. I have tried Wordpress, wasn’t feeling it, I guess I didn’t like Wordpress formatting. At the time when I tried Wordpress I had already been using Blogger for about a year, then something happened and I figured I’d give Wordpress a try, but it didn’t work out for me, so I went back to Blogger and purchased a new domain.

Blogging Tip# 1 Starting a Blog

starting a blog

A month or two ago, a wonderful young lady contacted me via email and told me she wanted some insight on starting her own blog and wanted to know how to go about it. I was shocked, I am NO professional blogger, and I look up to the real professional Bloggers out there, like ProBlogger, The Huffington Post, Mashable, TechCrunch, LifeHacker, Gizmodo, Engadget, Joystiq, even TMZ to name a few; these people are amazing!! And someday I’ll be just as amazing as them, but as of right now I am just a young apprentice. :-)
