Welcome To BloggersVillage!

Welcome to our site.  We are just getting started, and you are invited to come and learn all about blogs and blogging.  It does not matter what you want a website for, business, personal blog, and interest, or if you have a cause.  We can and will help you get your site up and running.

It's not enough to just build a website!  If you do not have a way to attract people to it.  Visitors, or traffic, is what you need.  This in part, is why blogs are becoming so popular.  The subject of 'traffic' and how to get people TO your web site, will also be dealt with.

To start with, we will only be dealing with basics, geared to the beginer in mind.  As we progress, we will get much more advantanced.

For starters, I will be using the terms blog and website alot.  I will only make this difference for now.  A 'website' is normally a site made using html code and some sort of html editor, and a 'blog' is one made with php code using a blogging software platform.  Later I will do a more in-depth discussion on "Website vs Blog".

I personally find that a 'blog' is much simplier, once learned, to create and manage.  There is a learning curve in any and all software programs.  The hardest part is doing the install of the software, and setting up or configuring the options and features, and choosing which built in tools to use.  However, if you choose to take advantage of our free hosted blogs, most of this will already be done.  Cutting your learning curve way down.

Of all the 'blogging platforms' available, I have chosen Wordpress.  The basic, default software is free.  This provides a very powerful framework to build upon.  It has an enormus following, with ALOT of programmers making 'plugins' and 'templates' to add to and build upon this great framework.  They will add features and functions.  Things like:

  • RSS Feeds
  • Calendars
  • Contact Forms
  • Event Count Downs
  • Widgets
  • and LOTS more

As we go, these will be covered.

If you are interested in getting your own free hosted blog, have a question or suggestion, or would like to get in one of our upcoming, live online classes, please use the Contact form and let us know your are interested.

Happy Blogging,

Tom
