Hi there
A few weeks ago I finally decided to pop my blogging cherry.
I started my science fiction and video game blog Light Speed Gaming.
This meant jumping off a cliff and diving into the scary world of blogging, which includes such fun things as choosing a blogging outlet, deciding on your template, trying to find out how to attract traffic and lots of other fun terrifying stuff!
Of course I turned to the wonders of the internet for some good old fashioned how-to advice on blog matters.
There is a lot of advice out there, some more useful than other and you should be able to piece it all together to get your blog off the ground.
However, what I really wanted to find was some blog building advice and experience from new bloggers that could share some thoughts and experience of the early days of blogging.
It's all fine and good to get some blog advice from veteran bloggers that have built their 10.000+ visitors a day blogs and have everything under control.
But I'd like to read something about the blogging newbies out there that are still struggling with something like deciding on their blog layout or whether or not they should create a newsletter.
So I have decided that a blog from a newbie blogger about the start up of a blog and the thoughts going through his head as he decides on this and that could actually maybe be quite helpful for people out there.
Full disclosure, I have been blogging for less than a month and I have no way of knowing if my blog will end up being successful at all.
In fact, this blog may be a diary about how not to run a blog!
The point is that I will be sharing my thoughts on the blogging process as I go along and not in the rear view mirror of after rationalization.
As this is my secondary blog and I also have a full time job to look after, I cannot promise daily updates or snazzily set up posts, but I will try to stop by a couple of times a week and dump my tangled thoughts on you "dear diary" style.
So, once again welcome and enjoy your stay!
