The Beginner’s Guide To The Blogger’s Universe
I know, there is so much online about how to blog and grow your blog that it will make your head spin. That’s exactly why I just updated a 3-part series on how to make money blogging. One thing I decided when I started out online several years ago was if I ever figured it all out, I would help others do the same.
Why you can find endless information on tweaking and improving your blog but very little on the bottom-line basics of starting a profitable blog I’m not sure. The reason I know this is recently I had two semi-computer-savvy people in the same day ask me how to start a blog. They said they started to research it, but found themselves more confused than ever. If you are new to blogging and type in a search on how to start a blog, the results are more than overwhelming!
So, here are the basics of starting a blog.
One more thing-did you know that a blog is ideal as your first website? It’s easy to learn, no programming and the templates available look very professional. Blogs also will rise to the top of the search engines much faster than an optimized website due to all the marketing tools available just for blogs. Oh, you knew that. Then pass it on.

Put RSS On Your Blog
Frustrated with all the dead end searches in trying to figure out how to put RSS on your site? I was. It seemed that all the searches were either telling me how to pick up someone else’s RSS to read, or was a lengthy article explaining all the boring technicalities about what RSS is, not how to put it on my blog. You already know that you want RSS on your blog and it will help your traffic. So when I finally figured it out, I decided I would chronicle my stupidity and give you the short answer on RSS.
First of all, if you are using WordPress.com, or Blogger, your RSS tag is probably already there. Duh. Most of WordPress.com themes include it as part of the template, or you can ‘plug it in’ . On Blogger, at the bottom of your blog page, if you see a “xml” icon, then you have a version of it. If you want a pretty orange RSS icon at the top of your blogger blog anyway, Feedburner makes it extremely easy to generate the html, and then you just put it in ‘Add html or javascript’ (NOT ‘Feed’) in the ‘Add Elements’ part of the ‘Design’ area. Then, just move your elements around so it’s at the top. *see note at end of post
If you are on WordPress, Become a Blogger tutorial #10 shows you how to get your RSS feed from Feedburner and put it on WordPress. There is also another site on toprankblog.com that creates the html you need for a large variety of RSS buttons. Be sure to watch the video at becomeablogger.com before you start anything, it’s a lifesaver…well, at least a time saver!
Feedburner is now owned by Google, and has some great tutorials designed for beginners, according to what type of blog you may have (Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, etc). You can learn everything you need to know – and you NEED to know this – here.
