Of Interest To Those That Want To Blog

I had interest until they wanted my email, which was right away. So I am out too.

I set one up last year, but haven't done much with it. This might be the year I do. I used to write short often. I have stuff I want to say and no one to listen. A blog would be perfect for doing that!

I'm not out - I'm just too busy at the moment with other things in life. I do want to get back to it - although - any blog I did would be short and sweet. :)

I have a Red " Ooops Something is not Right " message above this message box . " You must enter a Subject ".

is anyone else seeing this ? I couldn't find a Bug's thread.

Will look at this Blog thread later, thanks Roy.

EDIT TO ADD - gone now.

If someone has a question about blogging, I dont want your email and I wont send you a bill... I do take donations though...

What purpose do you want your blog to serve.. answer me that and we can talk about that... ignore the rest of your questions...
What is the purpose...

Note, I work fulltime so I will get back tomorrow night...

With the exception of my workshops, my Wordpress blog has brought me more photography related income than all other sources combined. This includes, print sales, high paying commercial work, as well as image licensing for books and magazines.

Whenever someone contacts me out of the blue regarding a print purchase or image use of any kind I always ask how they found me, 99+% of the time it's through my blog.

Awesome Jeff! Google also loves blogs and information.

I started blogging more last year and started my own website where I can blog and have different affiliate links (mostly to my different sites) and mainly lead people to my AW site. I have seen an increase in sales and traffic after I started this.

Nice blog and a couple of comments. You call your blog, timeless Moments Blog. It's not a big thing but adding blog at the end seems redundant.
Dont hide the pictures elsewhere put a few in the article and tell them to click this link to go to your Michigan fine are gallery. I read through the island one and the writing is well done. Good job!

I dont know if I'm the Jeff you meant but I'm sure Jeff will chime in :-)

RD, Thanks, your post has put some fire under me with this company inspiring me to look further for How To's on blogging.

Janine, It seems there is a lot of information needed to blog intelligently and not be spinning your wheels. I did some research the company giving the freebies doesn't help with the basics newbys need to set up blogs on the platform they recommend. If you were to pay for classes (middle level information) the total amount invested is around $1000. I'm going to investigate books on marketing blogs/setup and blog forums of which I have searched. I also found these four blogger recommended large blog forums (there are others) which are key for all levels of information: Warrior Forum, Self-Starters Weekly Tips, Digital Point Forum, Problogger.com

Jeff S, Impressive blog, the large beautiful images with blog titles drew me in. I can understand getting referrals with those visuals and interesting blog titles. One of the best blogs I have seen, well done!

Similar to the link in the OP, here is how to set up a WP blog without any email login. Its on the blog for my domain provider:

"I have seen an increase in sales and traffic after I started this."

Did you also start to upload a picture or two a day, Jennifer, as this has been known to help get your works seen more? Are you able to track your new sales to your website / blog?

Frank, Thank you for the link and discount!

You're welcome Suzanne. Personally I like WordPress.com as its much easer https://wordpress.com/pricing/
