wordpress.jpgBy now you know what a blog is. If you don't, then I can't help you. Just kidding. What you're reading right now is a blog. But this is what this review is for. If you know what WordPress/Blog is I hope you'll find this information useful.

WordPress is a tool that you can use to quickly set up a blog. But why do you want to have a blog? If you want to be one of the cool kids on the block, then you'll want one. haha. If you want to just be able to write anything you want or better yet, make *gasp!* money! from blogging, then you'll be smart and use wordpress. (do i have your attention now?)

You have basically 2 options when it comes to wordpress. You can have them host it which then you would sign up at http://www.wordpress.com or if you are l33t enough, you can register a domain and host the wordpress yourself. You would download it at http://www.wordpress.org and then you can get templates from http://themes.wordpress.net/ so you can easily set it up with a layout you like.

I'm not going to go through the installation process as it's pretty simple but wanted to give you an overall idea of how powerful WordPress can be.

By now you've heard stories about people who are making a living by just blogging everyday. Those are a small minority who are pretty much like online celebrities. Most people can and do make some money from blogging about anything they are passionate about. You can infact blog about anything you want. I know many of you keep a journal about your tanks here at MFT (keep it there!) but you can also look at options of hosting it on your own domain. Ofcourse having it here at MFT will give you the most reader feedback but you can always start another journal for other stuff and then link back to the thread at MFT.

Here's the 3 easy steps to get started.

1. Set Up WordPress or get a domain and then set up WordPress.
2. Set up the Plugins (what are plugins? see below)
3. Write about something that people are interested in. Making money is a popular one if you need a hint but can be as simple as what you are doing everyday.

Plugins? Plugins is a way for you to customize your blog. They range from simple to the more complex ones. I'll write a post about plugins one day listing the ones I use here.

There are many "online-celebrities" that have blogs. They write about something that people are interested in and they find ways to monetize that. It's amazing. In future posts, I'll spotlight those that I read and what makes them so popular.

But I hope that was a simple introduction to WordPress and the world of blogging.

[...] Do I Need To Do? It’s simple actually. If you have a blog/journal online (if you don’t click here to find out how), just write a short review of MyFishTank.Net approximately 100 words minimum. You then link back [...]
