How do you start a blog?

Well the easiest way would be to use blogger. They provide hosting and materials for free, to the point where anyone can start a blog. The trick is to making it good, and to get people to read it.

The biggest thing you need is commitment. Posting should ideally be done on at least a daily basis, but you can get away with a couple times a week. If you have good (or at least relevent) content, you can get a small readership and then build from there. For tips on that, check out this article: http://www.mudvillegazette.com/a...ves/ 002684.html
which explains it, and has tips that I wouldn't have thought of.

If you (any of you), start a blog, let me know, because I can out your link on the lefthand side.

Once you get it started, its also useful to go to other more established bloggers and post comments and shamelessly promote your blog. Kind of like I'm going to do below...

After a period irregular posting, the College Democrats blog is active again (in other words, my exams are winding down and I have time to post). At any rate, feel free to check us out and make comments!

I just think the students might deserve a more "fair and balanced" perspective than you can provide, that's all . Just think of it as a public service.

WHO SAID I WAS OLD?

I guess the old part wasn't necessary. It was meant to be in reference to the time between when I was in AP GOVT and not a reference to your age. Oops.
