My how to blog notes

Has submissive it's important to write down your feelings in some way. I used to have a notebook and pen with all the time and then I got told about blogging and that I would be great and at it. Here is my notes on blogging so you can get started if it's right for you.


Blog is like
- Television network
- A print newspaper
- Magazine

We have no
- Brand
- Team of reporters

Can start with one to multilayered internet newspaper.
From
- Aggregated news
- Politics minded blogs
- Obsessive coverage of everything
From
- Entertainment
- Environment
- Business
- Fashion

Can go from a team  of two to fifty. Internet is always changing and rearranging it's up to the minute.
Like if you don't like the color red you just paint right over it and make it blue.
Coninue to grow in the present.
Stay focused on the bigger picture.
The problem media outlets are always moving on to quickly on the next big hot score.
The stories weren't being covered in obsessed way the break through.
Someone spent life trolling in world of books, syndicated newspapers, column writing where the eternal veritas beginning/middle/end are the Rosetta Stone of structure.
Blogs are by nature very personal and intimate, often expression the blogger passions. Your very much more intimate, when your writing.
When your writing blog, when your writing your column, let alone a book.
You may start out writing about politics but in the end you write about yourself, about the things you care about beyond politics.
This creates a close bond between the blogger and the audience.

Teased me

You teased me,
And made me smile.
You protected me,
When I needed it.
You looked out for me,
When no one else would.
You charised my writing,
And challenged me,
To succeed,
When I needed it.
