I hear very often that it is easy to blog, and that is why there are so many blogs and bloggers out there on the Internet, and while I do agree with the idea that it is easy to blog. It is NOT easy to be a blogger. And to be a professional blogger is even harder yet. All to often Beginner bloggers start a blog, go all out for a week or two, then end up abandoning their blogs, just because of lack of ideas or loss of interest, so, yeah, there are a lot of blogs out there, and there are a lot of blogs that have been left abandoned.
It is a sad state to witness but it is reality.
So, now that I have gotten that out of my system, let’s quickly talk about what we have already talked about;
What are the best blogging sites for you?
This was my fist post on this blog. Here I covered briefly a few of the major players in the free blog blogosphere. Wordpress, Blogger and Live Journal being tops on that list. Being a blogger blogger, I recommend that you all start with a blogger blog. But, to each his own. Wordpress and live journal are both wonderful options and may be a better fit for you.

Finding a Niche that you enjoy, whether that be a hobby or a game or just you, is an excellent place to start when thinking of Niche blogs.

Understanding Keywords and Phrases for beginner bloggers
In this post I covered the importance of Keywords and phrases and how they affect your SERP, and how search engines seek keywords in order to properly represent your blog in their search engine results. There will be lots more to come on this topic, as I feel it is critical in blogging success, and one of the harder subjects to completely grasp.
The importance of blog Commenting

Reading others blogs within your same Niche not only helps you see what others are talking about, but gives you the opportunity to comment on their blogs, giving you the chance to be seen by their viewers and the blogger also.
