Well, just posting is just that, you're posting in a forum. A blog is your own personal space where you can write about anything you like and you control all of the content. Here, your blog posts do normally appear in the forums where they get more exposure and people can easily find them, read them, and post comments.

A few tips.

Interesting titles will go a long way toward getting your articles read.

Good writing style is important if you want anyone to spend any time reading what you wrote. Nobody wants to read one long run on paragraph.

Spell check your writing.

As for a title for your blog, well that's pretty much up to you isn't it?

Oh and one more thing, you should spend some time reading other people's articles and commenting on them if you expect people to do the same for you. JU is different from most other blog sites in that it has a true community feel to it and you should take the time to get to know the other bloggers here.

a BLOG IS Whatever you make it. I am a novelist, and keep various blogs in different voices. It is good to be wary of putting too much info up that might po your friends, though such writing can be kept [private/ In the five years I have been bloggin I have has almost a million readers. One reason for this is that I am not afraid to write anything at all. I have a military intelligence major and this has got me in some trouble with the government. They are presenting spying on over 939,000 peace activists.

Other forms of blogs just show your family and have updates. Others comment on the news.

Your blog will also help keep your brain healthy, as well as involve you in discussion wth people you will probably never meet. So keep a blog. Your ancestors will be mighty pleased you did, because a lot of the words in these computers is here forever.

you can write me anytime with questions. http://theelvesattic.blogspot.com I like joe user because the community is so helpful, but if you want to use music. slide shows, and other great features you might want to try blogspot for one type of blog, and joe user for qustions, or just to read the exceptional writers here.
