A little off topic here, but do you have opinions that you would like to express to a larger audience than just your dog? Do you want to work on your writing skills? Do you want to help people with a certain topic? Do you want to make some money on the side? =). If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, a Blog might be the way to go for you.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s easy to start (emphasize “start” here, maintaining is a different matter =) ). For example, this site is Blog. It’s not free, but I use a free backend called WordPress that is very simple to setup. They also offer FREE Blog hosting through this site, which is great if you are just getting started.

If you have any questions about setting up a Blog of your own, feel free to email me. While I’m not an expert, I’d be glad to give you what help I can.

Also, I’ve found that ProBlogger is probably the definitive source of information on this topic. This guy makes a living off of his sites, so I think he knows what he’s talking about =).
