I thought mine was becoming quite popular, until I realised I hadn't set the 'don't count your own views' feature!They say 50% of blogs are only ever read by one person...but don't let that put you off! Yes, Wordpress is definitely the way to go. Apart from that, I think Coffeejo has covered all the essentials. Above all, enjoy it - if you don't, no-one else is going to.
You remind me - if you start a blog you will be inundated with comments telling you how fascinating it is and what a genius you are. Before you 'approve' them, download an add-on to kill spam comments. Sadly, your approval ratings will plummet...but at least you'll know that comments you receive are genuine, and you're not unwittingly aiding scumbags selling fake Ugg boots and Viagra.I thought mine was becoming quite popular, until I realised I hadn't set the 'don't count your own views' feature!

Thanks for the tips.
I've gone with google blog, just because I think it'll be easiest with using google chrome a lot of the time.
I've made a couple of posts, just as a test really. It says I've had five views and somebody has +1'd it - what does that mean?
Also how do I share it, do I copy and paste the web address or ??
I may very well run out of steam before the 30 days of cycling are over, but who knows.
Try sticking the blog address as a link into your signature on here. (it won't work as a link until it's been saved.) That should get you a few more views.Thanks for the tips.
