Ropper, I just came across this in an email and thought it might be of some use to you and others, and before anyone asks no I'm not getting any commission or acting as an affilliate.

Its a blogging giveaway at

Hi Ropper,

There're lots of resources that provide the information you ask about. Here comes another one "Wordpress Classroom".

I suggest you starting by planning first. What do you want to achieve with your blog? What's you goal?

With your goal/target in mind make 1 year plan how to get there and how your blog fits in that plan. Divide the 1 year plan in periods of 3 months.

Take the nearest 3 months and plan what and how you want to accomplish in every month. After that, take the nearest 4 weeks and plan what you want to have accomplished at the end of every week.

Make a list of possible topics you want to cover during the nearest 4 weeks. Decide a release date for every post during that period and stick to your plan.

If you are completely new to bloging I have a free report that can get you started with Wordpress in a matter of minutes.

Hope this helps.

There is a book called the Authority Black Book that you can search for and it has a lot of great tools and advice.

This is not a free book but one thing I would high suggest is to figure out how much time you have to devote to your blog. It is easy to get caught up in wanting to have a great looking blog and that is important but more important is consistently adding content to your blog. They don't have to be long posts but it would be good to average 300-400 words. Consistency is a key, make it a habit and in time it will pay.

One other key element to your blog being found besides consistent content being added but also be certain that the keywords are words people are actually searching for. You can find keywords that a ton of pages and even a lot of pages with the keywords in the title but the keywords have no search volume. No one or a handful of people are searching for them. In all honesty when I first got started I thought I will get a great domain name and start posting but what I failed to factor in was are people searching on this and if so how many. You will never be found unless someone is looking for it.

I think as with anything new it is a good idea to follow someone who is already successful. There are many successful bloggers out there who have their own courses. Depends if you are ready invest to shortcut the learning curve. If you have a passion and knowledge for your subject that helps. However, the marketing techniques and set up are the areas you may need guidance on.

Ropper,

I would do some great thinking on categories !
The Blog you have got is it on your own host ?

maybe get some great plugins installed
do a search in google for a list of top plugins

get a good wp auto tag plugin

i would mention some of mine but the best ones are paid for

I personally use wordpress, however i've just added it to my site so it is still a little new. I would suggest having your own domain for your blog (it seems more professional that way). Also listen to to all the other good advice you've gotten. Best of luck.

Ropper are you doing a fitness blog? You did mention fit blog.

How's it going now? Everything up and running?

The beautiful thing about Blogging is that you can get started and not spend a dime until you kind of get the idea down...

I did that with 1 Blogger site, and then built on the education until I got the basics down... then I registered a domain, installed Wordpress and got busy!

You are engaged here at this forum. It appears to be a VERY helpful and responsive forum that features GREAT information! So here is a very powerful knowledge resource for you!!!

Now, it's just up to you. What will make you "stand out from the herd" is to just GET STARTED!

There is no major life threatening mistake you can make... every step will be a learning process... so WHY WOULD YOU WAIT another day to get started?!?!?!

Start with a Blogger.com site, and you can use it to promote your primary blog site. The perfect use for the Blogger site is to detail your "Trials, Tribulations, and Successes" as you develop your Fitness site! You can stumble there, and perfect as you go.

The other thing to keep in mind is that we (the internet) won't know you are really there until you tell us... so you can take as much *tweaking* time as YOU would like to! Then release it when you are ready.

Just let us know when you get it "ready" and ask for feedback. You will be surprised at how many will jump in and check it out for you, THEN let you know where you need to *tweak* some more!

Talk about instant traffic...

Hope that helps you out...
