Create and maintain a basic weblog/Set up a blog

In this section we currently look at three ways to set up a blog:


 * 1) Blogging with Blogger or Wordpress
 * 2) Media blogging (photo blogging, video blogging, audio blogging)
 * 3) Hosting your own blog

If you are new to blogging, you might prefer to focus on activities that show you how to set up with Blogger.

If you are comfortable with using computers and using content management systems generally then you will be ok with Wordpress.

If writing is not your cup of tea, or you prefer to express yourself in media, then you might like to jump straight into media blogging. To blog with media you'll need to be comfortable operating a recorder, managing files on a computer and sometimes editing media files.

Finally, if you want to know everything there is to know about blogging, you might like to jump in the deep end and set up your own server, buy a domain name, and install your own blogging system.
