I know some of you have been wanting to start your own blogs but just didn't know how. I was wondering if you'd be interested in an "Extreme Dummies" version of some Blog DIY Tips. (The extreme dummy would be me, your "teacher," not you!!)
I can probably only show you on one template in Blogger but it would be a start. Somewhere to put your ideas/deals etc. The series would look something like this:
1) How to create a blog in Blogger and how to buy your domain, if interested (.com, .net, etc)
2) How to create postings, including info on adding pictures, changing links from long URLs to the word "here," how to make your links open separate windows and how to link to other sites
3) How to add a Mr. Linky feature, a signature and a traffic meter to your blog.
4) How to add features like blogrolls, link lists and an email subscribers list.
5) How to add a background.
6) Resources on how to blog for profit. (Not my advice, but links to great articles out there.)
So if any of you are interested in something like this, please let me know and I'll get the series rolling next week. If I don't hear from you, I'll assume no one is interested and not proceed forward. So please leave me a comment and let me know.
How to leave a comment? Below each posting is the word "comment." You can log in under your Google ID or just choose Anonymous.
Thanks for your input! And remember, I'm the furthest thing from an expert but I can give you some basic tips!
I second that! I have a good bloggy friend who does her own blog stuff and it always looks so great. Why pay someone else to do it if I can get it done?
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
I would be interested in tips on how to build and customize your blog!!
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great idea Jaycie! Let me know if I can help!!
ReplyDeleteI Would LOVE this i have been waiting for someone to blog about this THANK YOU
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn from you. I've considered stsrting a blog--but didn't know where to begin.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
will you be doing a segment on how to add a 3rd column to a blog? thanks.
ReplyDeleteI won't be typing up the instructions myself on the 3rd column but I will be directing you to where you can go to find the info.
ReplyDeleteThis is so helpful thanks. I had a blog about my daughter who was a micropreemie and it was all about her and the march of dimes. Well I started following your blog and coupon gal and many others. I like to craft and stumbled on these coupon ones and I love to save. I as you would email or text friends on the deals but it became difficult to do that. So I just use my old blog and post what I find. I think the actual url is still madisonnevaeh but for now thats fine. My friend wants a button to add to her site but I have no clue how to make one so I just tell them to grab all of yours and use them. If they dont find what they want there just start clicking on the links you have. lol I am just trying to help some friends in these tight times. Thanks I love your site. Mindy
ReplyDeleteI've been following you for a while but just recently came up with a new year's resolution to start my own blog in 2010 for friends and family. I email or text them constantly but it would be so much easier to post in a common place for everyone to view. If I can make some money on the side too, all the better :) I can't wait to see all your posts on this topic! Thanks for all you do.
