  • Blogging is perfect for every entrepreneur. It doesn’t matter if you are a start-up business or running a growing concern, or whether you have a bricks-and-mortar store or operate solely online. The bottom line is that blogging can help drive traffic to your website, build authority and create community.
  • Perhaps the biggest advantage of using Blogger.com is that it is free, quick and easy to use.

      Blogs aren't too interesting to read without pictures in between to keep them attracted
  • Nothing makes a blog post more eye-catching than a great header image, but not all publishers have artistic talent. And even accomplished digital creatives often crave some found material to start from or work with in a project. Luckily for all of the above, sources abound for finding a compelling photo to grab your readers' eyes and draw them in, or to locate fresh multimedia to remix.

And when you update again, the reader will notify them that you have new headlines, and/or populate the list of items you have available. This can keep your audience coming back. It is so easy you would be crazy not to do it!

  • Each kind of a website has its own peculiarities. A common mistake in web design community is to ignore the specificity of a website.

      A lot of people pick a template because of how it looks but certain templates don't work for certain kinds of sites. An online shop for example shouldn't have a template that was originally designed for a fashion blog for example.
  • In order to help people that want to create their own website at any cost, the designers came with a great solution: website templates. A template is a structure that needs small customizations, especially for personalizing it, and after finishing these it may be uploaded.
  • Tip #2: Choose the template you need but not the one you just visually like
