What is blogging?
Well for the folk out there that are not tech-savvy…ummm why arent you!!! In a world of ever increasing technology and easier methodologies of making life easier you need to gear up and learn. Anyways, back to the point, blogging is basically something fun as telling a story, only difference is its all online. The fun thing is you can add pictures and sounds and make your post as interesting as possible, throw in some social media and build a following to get people talking. Thats our version of blogging.
Why do I need to blog?
There is no real specific reason as to why one should blog. Some do it for the fun of it, some for the fame, some for business and well the others…who knows? Determine what it is that you want to share with the world, a piece of your life or maybe to expand and engage your brand. Perhaps you just want to gossip and get people talking. Well whatever the reason, having a blog is useful to get your message across. Its kinda like having your own newspress online…you are your own Clark Kent working for your own Daily Planet.

Ok so at this point you might be thinking…I want me a blog, how to I get it? Let me just start by saying, its not rocket science. There are many platforms out there in the cyber world that can assist you to help get set up. Google blogger.com or try wordpress.com.
