Blogs are so much fun. You write in them,
say anything you want, then the whole
internet gets to read your life! *ahem*
So, you want one too? Easy!
Lots of people use sites like Xanga, Diaryland, etc.
But everyonr knows it's more fun to make your own! (yes
I use Xanga..but only because I can't run out of file space here!)
Here are steps to making a blog:
Step 1: Get a Catchy Name
I love this part. Your title should really catch people's eyes.
Like my Xanga is called Citrus Sky, then under it says
"What if it rained juice?"
This is a really fun part of the blog.
Go crazy with your title.
Step 2: Plan a Theme
The theme of your blog will predict the colors you use
and pictures. If your titlehas something to do with wilderness,
you might want to have the colors of your layout to be green and brown.
Firey title? Go for red.
Others prefer their layout to have nothing to do with the title.
You can do that too.
Step 3: Make the Layout
This part is hard. Remembering your theme, make the layout so the colors go well together.
At the top should be your title with a little picture, like a palm tree,
or whatever goes with your title.
Make sure the layout has room for your blog entries, links on the side,
a little profile on the side,
and a space for a pic of you.
Step 4: Put It On the Internet
Upload your layout and make a blank page to open it in.
Postion a scollbar on the box for your entries, and
position links titled "Archives" on the box for links.
Here, you'll be able to link old entries. In the box for your profile,
position a text with a little bit about you, your life, interests,etc.
Then, last, position a pic of you, or an anime pic of you, in the box you made for a picture.
If the pic is too big, downsize it in an image program like Paint Shop Pro.
Step 5: Start Writing
Write about anything: your day, an idea. Anything!
Tell people about it to spread the word, too.
Blogs are so much fun! You'll see! It will be become addicting! (mwa ha ha ha)
