Cash The Checks

Creating a blog isn’t all about content, a good appearance is a must. The first impression you make is the most important one. Whether you make a one-time visitor become a subscriber is dependent on content and appearance too.

The first thing to do is to pick a blogging platform. I personally love WordPress blogs because they’re easy to install and customize. Regardless of which one you choose, there are ways of exporting your current blog posts into a new platform, so you won’t lose your old posts.

The second step after installation is to pick a theme. Pick a theme that makes it easy to place ads on, and emphasizes your content. A simple theme that makes your blog posts easy to read is best. I prefer lighter colored themes with black text.

The final step is plugins. Plugins enhance your blog by adding extra features for your viewers. Some plugins include: adding polls, adding contact forms, customizing comments, adding tag clouds, listing related posts & recent comments.
