The One on Blog Creation

After reading Sotongball - whatever and whatever for almost a month, I'm sure some of you are inspired to start up a new blog too. But you might be afraid to take the first step, or worse still don't even know how to begin with. Fret not, STB has put up a simple guide of how to set up your spanking new blog.

1. Go to http://www.blogger.com
2. Press on "CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW"
3. Get ready your preferred email. Can be Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and etc. Fill up all the blanks
4. I suggest you create your blog as early as possible to secure an URL. http://sotongball.blogspot.com was taken so I had to make do with rawsotongball (which turned out to be more saucy). Don't try to be funny and use some long URL like http://rawsotongballcrispyandcrunchy.blogspot.com, it's really a chore for people to access your blog.
5. Choose a template, I straight away fell in love with the pink one :p If you're good, you should be able to figure out how to use an external template for your blog.
6. That's it, easier than shoving a dildo up your arse for some of you, or getting some of you guys to bed for that matter.
7. Your very first virgin post: Of course you must the courtesy to introduce yourself to the rest - age, height, weight, race and t/b? Oops wait this's not #sgboy. Just something you want to tell others about yourself. STB gave an opening theme to his blog, what can you do?

8. Click on the Layout, it's good to customize your blog especially on the layout and sidebar. You can easily a new page element to the sidebar like a chatterbox, a poll, links to blogs that you read and etc.

Things to note when you get yourself into blogging:

• Font size and color coordination - You won't want your readers to strain their eyes while reading your blog entries.
• Originality - Copy and paste from others' works is just so cheap, try to take time and come out with your own content.
• Value adding - Be it arousing, entertaining, touching, educating or even boring. Do make every visitor's time reading your blog worth while.
• Privacy - Unless you're out and loud and proud, try not to reveal too much of sensitive information like where you stay or shit.
• Sensitivity - If you want to write about others in your blog, consult them first before making them special guest in your blog.

That's all, good luck at your virgin blog entry. Do feel free to consult STB if you ever need any help in setting up your virgin blog. Happy Blogging.

Oops, Sotongball might be adding numbers to the already over-populated blogosphere. Hope to see some interesting posts sprouting out.
