Being a new blogger

Everybody is very encouraging when it comes to “start your own blog”.  But nobody tells you how damn difficult it is to get all the little snags and buttons and feeds and who knows what else onto your site.  To be very honest, if it wasn’t for Stii that helps me a lot with all my questions, I would have been LOST, and probably have given it up by the 2nd day already!  I see something nice on somebody else’s blog and wants it on mine, but don’t even know what it’s called - so how the hell does a new blogger go search for instructions on the internet (which will tell you somewhere to do whatever).

One site I did stumble upon was that of Bolton Deventer from Webtrafficmaker, Sorry, but your blog didn’t help me at all.  I was more confused after reading it than before - and believe you me I was very confused to start off with.  Blogs like yours should be banned from the start.  How the hell will boobs and sex related words help you get more net traffic if you are promoting a “personal” site - I don’t want perverts to come visit my site.  I want “normal” people with “normal” values to contribute to my blog.   And W-TEP??? It sounds like a course for a plumber??

To all the new bloggers out there … good luck with starting up a new blog.
