Have Personality
It is a must to show your true personality through your blog, reflect your ideas & beliefs, it can be as informal or formal as you want it to be, be creative & have fun with it. Also show your personality by adding a bit about yourself in the "About me profile" so other bloggers can get to know the blogger in you!

Blog Jargon: Learn it
Become familiar with Internet jargon so you can understand how blog communication works. Before you start blogging, get to learn & know the blog savvy language so you can understand other bloggers & learn from the professionals. The blogosphere as many call it is a whole new world to first time bloggers and it will pay for you to get acquainted with it first.

Postings

If all else fails - Google It!! (Research)
Research, research research! If you are new to blogging like myself you must start with research, Google or YouTube it! There are so many sites & help manuals that will guide you through setting up a blog & how it works. A good site that was suggested by Cynthia my tutor is here. Find out what a blog is all about and their purpose, this will get you started. By learning from others and researching tips from other bloggers & sites you will gain the knowledge you need to start a new blog!
