Heya! The absence is due to being in Oregon for the past week or so. I've got some new art and such, but I got this irresistible question. My help was actually wanted about starting a blog! My help! Well, there's nothing better than leaning back and sharing some of my wonderful wisdom with you all, so here goes.
(P.S. by that, I mean, this is gonna be a wordy one, as this is such a rare opportunity, so stay tuned if you want more pictures than words.)
Dear question-asker!
-How do you start a blog meaning... how do you write posts? How do you actually create one? How do you get the courage? Tell me if ya want more information (or if this has been blown way out of proportion), but this is what I've put together in response:
#1: pick a blog site.
-I started planet Z on TypePad, if you haven't noticed from the url. If ya want good safety and quality, it's an excellent option. The only downside is that you have to pay a little bit each month for it. If this doesn't sound too good, I recommend Blogger.
#2: parents?
-I started planet Z because I really wanted to. I was inspired by other bloggers, and my mom had a blog too, so it made setting one up easier. If you're worried about asking your parents, I figure there's a lot of other more difficult things to ask them, so this one shouldn't be too tricky. Nonetheless, it depends on the parents and how you feel about it all.
Extra:
-One of my problems was worrying about whether or not I was going to be able to post regularly. Big word of advice: if you want to, just do it. You will most likely be able to post regularly, but you'll never know until you try, and you don't have to post every day. Post once a month if you want to. Some awesome people do.
-I am always envious of some people's design and prettyness of their blogs. This can be accomplished, but is not really necessary. This is pretty much a public diary to stop you from saying too much, so keep it your own speed.
-Blogs seem sorta common/popular these days, but there's certainly room for one more. It's a pretty big world out there.
-And most of all kids, have fun! And eat this new healthy energy bar!
-Wait - what was the question? Okay bottom line: I started this blog with Typepad.
