Well of late blogging has caught the imagination of one and all. Ever since weblogs or blog what they are called as of today were launched they have been used to communicate and exchange ideas, views, opinions, information etc on a wide range. Tens and thousands of blogs are created everyday and most of them get lost in the vast sea around. That means not everyone can be a successful blogger and more if you cannot follow the basic guidelines and don’t repeat the mistakes others do.

There is a longstanding discussion around the blogsphere as how often a blog should be updated? Every bloggers has different responses to that question.

If you don’t have anything to say, don’t post anything.

Its very common to see newbie bloggers who have just entered into blogging world and set unrealistic expectations from the very first day. As a new blogger, you need to put a lot of efforts into the blog to achieve your goals. Do not forget that, there is a long way that you need to move on and your priorities should always be content along the road.

Lets start with a basic principle as having your own domain. I believe that branding and having freedom (no-limitations) is very important. So, you have decided to blog, but you dont have any experience. And you think that it’s not so important to host your blog under a free service. Well, you are wrong. Do not use free blogging services. Blogs hosted under a submain (e.g. Blogger, Wordpress, etc…) are under the mercy of site administrators. There are number of things you are required to comply while keeping your blog under of their service. Failure to comply causes suspensions. To get your own domain gives you more freedom. And you are no longer responsible to any site admisitrator but to your readers and to the hosting company

No matter what you are doing, it is always very important to backup your data. If you have ever lost your work, you probably know how bad it is, to start over again to take same steps.

Same goes for your blog. If you are blogging, you have probably heard the saying “content is king”. So, how do you protect your content against a server crash*? Nothing is more valuable than your content. Thus, it is a good idea to periodically back up your posts. In this article I am going to explain how to back up your blog entries
