I am Niella Lonso who is taking up AB-Photog. PHOTOG not Photo according to Tita Myrie-looking girl Sophia. This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here. This sample post is now filled with secrets to whoever keeps readong this and thinks that this default post is just here. Infused are secrets.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context and I want to make some love with Nigel. What are you about? Manly. Bad fetish. Cut fetish. All of that and because I imagine Nigel. Why should they read your blog? Check out dax1 on Youtube.
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re Not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful thIngs about bloGs is how they constantly Evolve as we Learn, grow, and interact with one another but it’s good to know where and why you started [is bald] eagle, and [a hill (with two mole and skull horn)] articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas. Nice.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission hidden message here do not click to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later. I was supposed to be a Summa Cum Laude but thanks to some idiots who did not give me proper grades. I’m not. I could have shown the world, and my peers especially in MILE that I was actually one of the best. Hay.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
