- 1First you will want to consider the reasoning behind blogging. Do you have creative ideas? Find something that interests you and appeals to you or other readers. Stick with it.

- 3Next you will want to find a witty title for your personal blog. Think of something catchy that will perfectly describe your subject matter.
- 4Create the look of your blog. You may want to keep it standard, create your own background and look, or use one off of the site. This is entirely up to you.
- 5Begin writing! Let all of your inspirations come out into your first post. You may want to write what your blog is going to be about here and address the things you'd like to cover in the future. Thoroughly explain your first post and then post it.
- 6Now you will want to promote your blog. Social networking websites work best when it comes to this. Spread the word to your friends! They will be able to leave you feedback and pass your blog on for others to see. If you wish for your blog to be private then just keep it to yourself. You may also want to check out the privacy features that your blogging website provides.
- 7Continue to write! There is nothing worse than an abandoned blog. Keep your material fresh and exciting and in general, just have fun with it!
