My First Post

Well this is it! My first post on blog WordPress for OUA NET11, I hope I have made the right choice. I would prefer to avoid paying for the privilege to post a blog so I am hoping that this site will meet my requirements for the NET11 subject. I would prefer to have a simple elegant design but have full functionality of the site and my posts. I will try this out for a couple of days/posts and see how it works out.

For anyone who is thinking about creating a blog and is looking at the different blogging sites I have 5 tips to help you get started:

1. Go to as many different blogging sites as possible. Check things like cost and features. Some sites are free, others charge an account fee, whilst others are free to sign up and post but you will need to pay for advanced features such as themes.
2. Ask you friends and colleagues to recommend blogging sites they use. Ask them why they have made these choices.
3. Go to different blogging sites and read some blogs, paying attention to the different functions and tools the sites have. Some blogging sites may limit your ability to use certain tools or require that you write any advanced feature in HTML code, while other sites have tools and applications to help you make your blog the way you want it.
4. If the accounts are free to create you may want to consider creating an account on a couple of different sites, posting your entries on each. Over the course of a few weeks you will be able to find out which sites have the features you prefer to make your blogging experience more enjoyable.
5. A blog is an open forum where anyone is free to post so make sure your work reflects how you would like the world to perceive you. Don’t take other bloggers comments too personally and above all, don’t forget to have fun!
