[mind]

What is blog?
Blog is web site that similar to diary, with a lot of news updates and lot of links to other blogs and websites. Why is blog good? First of all blog with constant text adding is very good for search engines (SEO), which they adore. Also, blog have PING option, which tell search engines that new text is added and it's time for spiders to visit site

How to open blog?
If you want to have blog, you can use some of free services on internet (blogger, thumblogger...) or you can make your own. In this text we will talk about making your own blog!
First of all you must have domain and hosting which supports PHP and MySql.
Next step is downloading script wordpress which we'll use as a blog. Working with wordpress is easy and it have many features, themes and plugins. You can download wordpress from their official site Please Register or Login to view links.

After download you need to unzip it to your HDD.
Next step is installing script on your host. Before uploading you find and edit file wp-config-sample.php in one of text editors (notepad, wordpad...) i change field associated to mysql. It looks like this:

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // Instead of wordpress write your database name
define('DB_USER', 'username'); // Instead of username write your database username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // same for password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% it will stay localhost, but look at your hosting provider is DB different.

After editing data save this file as wp-config.php. Now upload all content of wordpress folder. After uploading open your favourite browser and type Please Register or Login to view links . This will install your blog.. Wordpress will show you username and password of your new admin panel which you can change later on. Anyway save that data, so you won't get problems later. Script will take you to the login page.

Unzip the theme on HDD and upload it to server. Folder on server must be /wp-content/themes. After uploading in admin panel choose presentation, and then theme you uploaded. Doing this will change your blog appearance. If you want to change your blog appearance even more click on theme editor and you change colours, fonts and even pictures and header.

After writing every post wordpress will automaticaly ping search engines and "tell" them that you have new content on blog. Beware, if you edit your posts too much you can get banned, because wordpress pings every time when post is edited. You can install plugin which disable ping option when editing post. You can find it on next site Please Register or Login to view links unzip folder and upload it to u /wp-content/plugins . Then in admin panel click on plugins and activate smart update pinger. Procedure is same for installing all other plugins.

Only thing left is to write posts with interesting texts and quality keywords

Optimal number of words for search engnies is 250-300 but choice is yours

You can't emphasis enough how important it is to update your blogs on a regular basis. Most people bite off more than they can chew by planning to update every day but that rarely happens. Once or twice a week is plenty as long as it's regular if you want return traffic.

true, i have the same problem myself sometimes... i start a blog, write several posts and then forget about it for like a week or two while i work on some other projects, then i get back to it write some more posts and forget it again etc etc...
