We will use this pulpit to pass forward some of the information we have gathered in our own publishing project. http://www.authorwebpage.com/feed.xml 2011-09-13 Publishing What is Blogging and should you do it. Blogging has been around since the early days of the internet. With each passing year it has become more prevalent. The primary questions you want to address are: What tool should I use to blog, e.g. Twitter, Blogger, Word Press. How often will I blog. You need to commit to spending some time on it. What will I blog about. Some authors have in fact blogged their entire novel. However that may seem a little risky to most of us. My suggestion is to sign up for blogger.com. The interface is very simple. You can focus on writing something instead of spending time trying to learn a more complex interface. http://www.authorwebpage.com/feed.xml 2011-09-13 Publishing How long does it take to build a web site? It depends on many factors, but primarily is based on how long it takes to collect the necessary Words, Pictures and Graphics. For instance this site, including this Blogging System was built in four hours. But many sites can stretch out for months.
