\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the past few months,\u00a0we at TECHDIVINE<\/a>\u00a0have been getting quite a few e-mails, enquiring about so many different things on blogging and websites. So we thought, why not\u00a0list down few of those which were asked repeatedly, post them\u00a0here\u00a0and probably even try to link them up with answers \/ sites \/ links as possible solutions to those queries:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Which would be the best blog site to start with?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are plenty of sites offering blog start ups for\u00a0free and for purchase. One best example is our very own WORDPRESS<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What would you suggest on Group writing for articles on blogs?<\/p>\n

Group writing can be for both, writing for getting feedback from groups and write with teams collaborating with other writers on a particular project.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It helps. As in both cases, others critique and give feedback on your writing and you get to collaborate with other writers on projects. It may also help one to refine and polish their writing skills through group interaction and regular critiquing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What is \u2018tag writing\u2019 & \u2018blogroll\u2019<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tags are words with which you create a connection with your writing to make it searchable by others looking to read or know similar queries \/ articles \/ information \/ topics. For example, if I am writing on a gizmo watch, i can tag it as Watch, Gadget Watch, Gizmo watch etc. You can reach the link here to know more on SEO<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blogroll is a feature of blogs, wherein you connect others landing on your blog to different sites of yours<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0eg. The Current site \/ blog where user is let’s say: http:\/\/techdivine.com\/tdblog<\/a> and there is a link from here to TDForum<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some real good blogging sites where one can get for free \/ pay a nominal sum and blog, write their daily diary to World news to fitness etc. and may be even get feedback from readers, but discuss on any topic under the sun.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Techdivine\u2019s site on\u00a0<\/strong>CREATIVE WRITERS BLOG<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a fantastic example of that to start with.<\/strong> Here so many different authors have got an opportunity to blog and write on subjects that they enjoy discussing all around. Plus they get feedback, critique from readers, writers across.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are also sites on Freelance writing blogs on specific news etc like www.instablogs.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How do we decide on interesting writing articles?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weird, we can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We write (usually) because we want to write.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When we start writing because others want to read, it may end up being just a \u2018regular job\u2019. And the passion may get drawn out of it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, if you want to, you can search for popular topics across the world and write on those.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On, Writing on Popular authors<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We would suggest, reading popular authors or discussing them, their styles and skills with writing groups, peers etc to learn and grow<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Using\u00a0 pictures on blog<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is a great idea. Always try to do that. Graphic \/ pictorial appeal always works well. But make sure, you add an image web source and that the images do not have copyrights or restrictions on use by the owner of the images (clicked \/ created)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0COPYRIGHTS<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

TRADEMARK<\/a> etc<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How important is writing blogs for upcoming authors<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blogging is simply expressing, sharing your thoughts with the world. You can use text, photos, videos and so much more to make your article to connect with readers. Blogging does not try to replace the traditional writing, but make it more easy to share with refined tools across the globe. It makes writing \u2018more\u2019 with rich feedback, inputs, easily possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some really good Free Blogs<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

10. What are RSS feeds and how are they useful<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

RSS feeds are links that help us to subscribe to a particular topic \/ forum or website link. It helps both the users and site owners to keep track and update each other of new events \/ topics etc<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

An example of RSS with <\/strong>TD Blog<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0would be Click here to Subscribe for FREE: <\/strong>RSS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cNO\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

11. \u00a0\u00a0How do we improve writing skills<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

By writing more, religiously, passionately and seeking advice, views, critique from all those who know about writing and even those who don\u2019t (\u2018coz they are probably the ones who end up reading it). Be Passionate about it (check this out – Deepak Chopra<\/a>)<\/p>\n
