Internet Studies

1. Before you start you blog, sit down and think what will your blog be about? What do you want to write about? Also, make a bullet list of the subjects you will cover. This will help you decide your blog’s categories.
2. Have an ‘About’ page—because users will want to know who the writer is.
3. Use descriptive titles.
4. Publish quality content regularly.
5. Follow basic weblog ethics.
