  • To learn about setting up a website. Despite not knowing how to program, I was able to learn how to run a Content Management System (CMS) with little if any assistance.
  • To establish an internet presence in case anyone wanted to learn more about me. Better they learn through what I publish than to not find anything or content that is not flattering.  I allow people to get a picture of what type of person I am without needing to meet me.
  • To practise expressing my thoughts and opinions. I’ve always got things on my mind so it’s good to write about them. I expect my skills to improve with time.

    • Another benefit I have noticed from blogging is that it helps against procrastination. By writing a post, I endeavour to get it done and published so that it’s out of the way and sometimes I prepare posts in advance so that my blog remains as active as possible.

    I first registered a domain with web hosting to create a personal webpage using HTML software. Two years went by and I hadn’t done much. My girlfriend suggested that I use my website for a blog so that I could write about my ideas, opinions and get day-to-day stuff off my chest.

    My original thoughts were to write about things I had an interest or some expertise in. As the weeks went by I noticed I had more readers than what I had originally planned, I then realised how versatile a blog can be.

    While I don’t target specific topics, I will publish the few things I have some authority on for the time being. I know that once I have more experience, I will be able to contribute better articles with a more specific focus.

    Everybody has something to offer when it comes to blogs. A lot of my friends who read my blog are more than capable of adding interesting content also. If you have passions, interests, knowledge on a subject, or just have a lot to say – then I encourage you to start a blog and publish your knowledge to the world.

    If you are a student I recommend writing about the subjects you are currently studying. This will help the retention of information and connect you with like-minded people around the world. It also helps writing style for those of you who dread writing essays.

    I have been ocupied with personal matters lately. Over the next few weeks, more articles will be published relating to travel and cooking topics.
