It’s the easiest way to post quoted text to your blog, no matter where you find it on the Web. Just select text to quote, add your comments, then publish it instantly to your blog. It’s that simple!
Your blog domain is the url people will use to access your blog on the internet. The domain for web money is www.illiteratepoet.com. The domain name for this blog was not a very good choice. I have been looking for another one to gradually switch too. When this blog was started I was still learning about domains and blogging and picked the wrong domain for my topic. When you choose a domain name try to pick one which gives readers insight into what your blog is about. For example my other blog The Law of Politics, can be found under a few domain names: usapresidentmccain.com, lawofpolitics.com, and Tillmanslaw.com; all which let you know the blog is about political and legal issues. Also try to use a domain which can be easily remembered, and sometimes the shorter the better. If you use the blogger platform you can have your blog hosted at a blogspot address, but I do not recommend this because you are not investing in a domain you own. Its kind of like remodeling an apartment you rent, you will not get a return on your investment. You build links and popularity to a domain over time through visitors and fellow bloggers referring to your domain, thus increasing it value if you ever want to sell it.
Picking the platform to host your blog is a matter of opinion. I use blogger because it is free and seemed like the easiest to use when I first started blogging. I plan on starting a blog using WordPress or switching one of my existing blogs, because I have heard good things about the service.I like the idea of having more control of your blog, which, I think, WordPress gives you. The top 10 Free Blogging Platforms by the Specky Boy Blog is a good source to help you decide what platform to use. PC world has a good article on blogging platforms too. It is a good idea to do this type of research before starting your blog because readers will identify with your blogs appearance and consent change may run some readers off.
