1. Go to a simple blog creation site. A few common sites for blogging are: [Choseit], MuseCrafters.com, vox.com, wordpress.com, Inthewire.com, Blogger.com, livejournal.com, journalhome.com, freeopendiary.com...etc.
2. Choose one that appears to be "User Friendly" for you. Many bloggers don't know how to make a good site, and, let's face it, HTML is hard to learn, so check it out. If it looks a little too hard to create, and navigate the blog site and you're confused, then don't use that site.
3. Choose what type of blog you want to create.
4. Decide how often you are going to post.Some claim that posting at least once every day is best; Some also say that three quick posts a day are far more effective than one long post every three days. Others claim that when they update a blog every other day they get more readers than when updating two or three entries in a single day.
5. Get somethings together beforehand because some recommend putting together about a month's worth of material before you tell anyone about your blog.
6. Tell close friends about your blog and ask them to tell their friends. Often if you use it as another way to network with those people around you, you'll get a better response.
7. Look around the Internet for blogs you love. Read and post to them religiously. Leave a note that actually has something to do with their site so that they know you actually took the time for pay attention to the material posted; do not expect anything back in return.
8. Build a network with other people in the blogosphere - make friends online.

WARNING:

• Don't be rude when blogging because that will make you unpopular or popular with rude people. You don't want rude bloggers or readers participating in your site.
• Don't post your blog link everywhere because it can actually seem rude if you appear extremely desperate to have visitors.
• Be careful with your identity. It's so easy for someone to find you through the net or to find those you talk about. Protect the people you know and, unless they give you permission, don't use their names or other personal information in your blog.
