This blog began as a curiosity. I never kept a journal but I enjoy to write and I simply adore technology. My love for technology has won out and here I am keeping a fancy online journal.
I messed around with website design, and by messed around I mean I downloaded a book and attempted with free programs, but the challenge was overwhelming and fairly daunting. Without a product to plug there did not seem to be a reason to keep at it.
However I am revisiting this concept by means of an attempted blog.
The challenge initially was to understand WordPress 3.0. and get a blog up and running. Success! I was able to create two posts and feel confident in being able to navigate around the dashboard, upload and insert media into my posts as well as separate them by means of category. Adding tags helps generate hits it seems and embedding videos adds a little flair and fun to the process.
Now the puzzle that lies before me is attempting to insert ads to generate revenue then attempt to market my blog to increase traffic. Due to the fact that WordPress does not allow you to use free ads I have switched to Blogger.com. I have researched and signed up for Google Ad sense and was just recently approved. I looked at Adbrite but was leery of offering up my social security number on the sign in, especially since the https part of the address was stricken out like so… https.
So join me if you wish as I attempt to discover the means of making money online with a blog. Because honestly, if I can figure this out anyone can.
