Blogging 101: The Blogging Basics

Welcome to Disaboom - connecting the millions touched by disability. Being a Disaboom member gives you the opportunity connect with others in various ways, including a blog.

"What is a blog and do I want one," you ask.

Great question!

In simple terms, a blog (short for web log) is an online journal where you can share your experiences, thoughts and ideas. Having a blog is a great way to connect with others.  

Blogging can be very rewarding (and somewhat addictive!). To reap those rewards, it is first necessary to understand the basics of blogging. For this reason, I am excited to announce I'm launching Blogging 101 - a series of short articles (or posts) on the blogging basics.

I plan to cover such topics as:

  • What is a blog and why do I want one?
  • What shall I write about?
  • A blogging glossary
  • Tips for interacting with other bloggers
  • What is social bookmarking?
  • Plus much more

To ensure I cover all of basics necessary to get blogging, I welcome your questions you have about blogging. No question is too silly or simple! In fact, the simpler the better! Leave your questions by clicking on "Comments" below.

I look forward to your blogging questions.
