Here's a question, fellow shower-criers:

For submissions, should I just post them without comment, or would y'all like a reply of some kind?

How do you make a blog? I want to make my own blog of my own but I don't know where to start.

Blogging has become an excellent way to share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with the world. In this digital era, almost everyone has their own blog, and if you're interested in making one, I'm here to help you. I'll discuss how to make a good blog and how to write a blog that is informative and engaging.

Before we dive into the details, let's understand what a blog is. A blog is a website containing written content that is updated regularly. The content can be about anything you want, such as your personal experiences, your passions, your business, or current events. A blog can be an excellent way to establish yourself as an expert in your field, connect with like-minded people, and build your brand.

Here are some essential steps you should follow to make a good blog:

Step 1: Choose a Blogging Platform

The first step in creating a blog is to choose a blogging platform. There are many platforms available, such as WordPress, Tumblr, and Wix. Each platform has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you need to choose one that best suits your needs. WordPress is one of the most popular platforms and offers a lot of customization options. And Tumblr is one of the easiest and self-customizable blogging websites.

Step 2: Choose a Domain Name and Hosting

Once you have chosen your blogging platform, you need to choose a domain name and hosting. Your domain name should be memorable, easy to spell, and relevant to your blog's content. Hosting is a service that allows your blog to be accessible on the internet.

(Also be sure to think of a blog name before doing this step, for example my blog/brand name is 'The Write Advice For Writers')

Step 3: Customize Your Blog

After you have chosen your domain name and hosting, you need to customize your blog. You can select a theme that suits your blog's content and customize it to your liking. You can also add plugins to enhance your blog's functionality.

Step 4: Create Quality Content

The most important aspect of a blog is its content. You need to create quality content that is informative, engaging, and relevant to your audience. You should also use keywords that are relevant to your blog's content to improve your blog's search engine rankings.

Step 5: Promote Your Blog

Once you have created quality content, you need to promote your blog. You can use social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote your blog. You can also participate in online communities related to your blog's content to gain exposure.

Now that you understand how to make a good blog, let's discuss how to write a blog that is informative and engaging.

Step 1: Choose a Topic

The first step in writing a blog is to choose a topic. You should choose a topic that you are passionate about and that is relevant to your audience. You can also use keyword research tools to find popular topics related to your blog's content.

Step 2: Create an Outline

Once you have chosen a topic, you need to create an outline. An outline will help you organize your thoughts and ensure that your blog post is well-structured. Your outline should include an introduction, main points, and a conclusion.

Step 3: Write Your Blog Post

After you have created your outline, you need to write your blog post. Your blog post should be informative, engaging, and easy to read. You should also use subheadings, bullet points, and images to break up your content and make it more visually appealing.

Step 4: Edit Your Blog Post

Once you have written your blog post, you need to edit it. You should check for grammar and spelling errors and ensure that your content flows well. You can also use online tools such as Grammarly to check your grammar and spelling.

Step 5: Publish Your Blog Post

After you have edited your blog post, you need to publish it. You should also promote your blog post on social media and other online communities related to your blog's content.

In conclusion, making a good blog requires patience, dedication, and hard work. You need to choose the right blogging platform, create quality content, and promote your blog to gain exposure. Writing a blog that is informative and engaging requires choosing the right topic, creating an outline, writing your blog post, editing it, and publishing it. By following these steps, you can create a successful blog that will attract readers and establish you as an expert in your field.

Guys I think I suck at blogging

[visenyaism]

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

WIBTA for taking advantage of my boss’ possible manic episode?

I know this already sounds bad but hear me out.

So I (30M) am the sole employee of this guy (62M) who’s honestly just a miserable boss and an even more miserable person. It sucks so bad working for him—the pay is horrendous, he’s verbally abusive, and the working conditions are awful (in the winter I literally have to stay bundled up the whole work day because he refuses to put the heat on in the office). He wouldn’t even give me holidays off if it wasn’t for the fact that there’s basically nothing to do those days because everywhere else is closed. I’m almost positive he unironically thinks poor people should die if they can’t work. His nephew (aka his only living relative and just the nicest guy) came by yesterday to invite him to Christmas dinner and he told him he’d see him in hell.

I cannot stress this enough—it’s BAD. I’d quit, but it’s been hard finding a better job and I’ve got four kids at home, including one with special needs.

Anyway, so here’s where I’m wondering if I’d be the asshole. Today was Christmas Day and he showed up at my house out of nowhere (huge red flag, I know). At first I thought he’d forgotten I had the day off and he was here to chew me out, which was worrying enough, but then his whole demeanor changed and he was super happy and excited and talking about how he was going to raise my salary. He even mentioned possibly making me a partner in the firm.

Now if that was it, I’d feel a little weird about the suddenness of it but it’d be fine. I’m not going to complain about having more money to feed my family. But then he started talking about how he wanted to pay our mortgage off. He talked about wanting to pay for our son to get the very expensive medical care that’s probably going to save his life. He mentioned at one point that he was going to be donating a huge amount of money to charity too—I knew he was rich but it staggered me. All this from a guy who doesn’t (didn’t?) even want to turn on the heat or the lights because it costs too much money.

It was such a sudden and drastic change that happened very literally overnight and now I’m kind of concerned he’s having a manic episode or something. I really, really want to accept his sudden generosity (I probably will; my wife is all for it and thinks he owes it to us), and I would love to believe that he’s truly had a sudden change of heart (an actual Christmas miracle lol) but I’m just worried about the possible consequences of accepting huge financial gifts like this from someone who I believe might be experiencing some kind of break from reality. Even if there’s nothing legally wrong with it, I’m worried about the ethics of it.

TLDR, my asshole boss might be in the middle of a mental breakdown. WIBTA if I accepted his offer to pay off my mortgage and my son’s medical expenses?

THERE'S NO GUARANTEED WAY TO SUCCESS So Stop Asking!

  When I’m here, in my studio, I’m so grateful I HAVE a studio! And wonderful building managers, and good people around me. And a social security check to pay my rent…. I’ve enjoyed posting answers to some questions on Quora.com. I’m always happy to share advice, insights, and encouragement. But some of them are hair-tearing. And I just can’t go there anymore. I’m now very picky about which…

I fully understand why "character A is astounded at the sight of character B's penis" is a specific kink that gets tagged for, but the fact that some platforms choose to tag this kink as "penis awe" is unintentionally very funny. Now I'm picturing penis experience kink tags for all those other allegedly transcendent emotions in the glossary of your Philosophy 101 textbook. Penis faith. Penis Weltschmerz. Penis apprehension of the absurd.

It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.

We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.
