Starting My First Blog...Any Tips Out There?
 

This will be my first blog. I think I will go with DREAMHost because of their one click install. When I sign up with DREAMHost, What level hosting should I Sigh-up for. Also I would like to know the diffrent ways adult webmasters are using blogs.:)

Get your own dedicated server with IP.
Use wordpress.

Hit me up for FREE advice.

Make your categories good keyphrases. I know nothing of dreamhost but any $5 hosting plan would work.

And www.dwhs.net has 1 click installs of wordpress also.

Text! Text! Search Engines love blogs but you've got to do more than just post a picture every day. Use some great keywords and make it interesting. If you want people to come back it has to be more than just daily spam.

Keep it relevant, focus on valuable but less utilized topics. Target niche interests.

IF you cant install wordpress on your own. You should reconsider being a webmaster.

That very interesting thanks

With all due respect, Alex. "Webmaster" is a broad term. Many people are webmasters who make a lot of money who don't know html or php etc. Perhaps on a broad basis, "Webmaster" can be defined an online business person who sources his promo materials from specialists and spends his time strategizing re generating traffic and monetizing that traffic? I'm sure there are the "classic" webmasters who know design, html, scripting, etc. But perhaps this is too constricting a definition since it does not include webmasters who make $$$ by laying out capital and strategy and letting specialists do the job? Maybe the label webmaster may have less to do with a person's ability to install a script or build a page than with his/her ability to make money off the internet. Just my :2 cents:

Exactly! :thumbsup Plus other text-based tricks.

Thank you CynthiaB

I was making $20,000 a month before I new the first bit about html, servers, or anything related to websites. God bless you Geocities.

Trust me when you work on a blog. IF thats going to be the main think you start doing and you are using a program such as wordpress. Down the line you are going to be editing themes. Installing add-ons, pings, etc.

If you want to be successfull it is best to able to know fully the product you are using.

Funny, heated discussions in here. Am I the only one who sees that post for the spam in disguise that it is? :)

Disguised SPAM? On GFY? Heavens Forbid! (Rips my shirt in disgust and looks heavenward):winkwink: :thumbsup
