Summary: Blogging ABCs hosts Deborah Carney, Liz Fogg and Trica Meyer discuss how to structure your blog including how to pick the software and platform. Recommended blog platforms: Unanimously recommend Wordpress.org with the blog hosted on your own domain. Tricia and Deborah both use the Thesis Wordpress theme, while Liz uses themes from the Wordpress.org repository to find themes that fit the subject of her blogs. It was suggested that you do not have any auto play music, video etc that can distract your visitors, or even detract visitors. When using WordPress.com - You are not allowed to monetize your blog at all. Blogger.com/Blogspot.com - You can monetize but it looks unprofessional and you don't own your content. Feel free to post links to your blog for us to take a look at in the comments below! Also suggestions for future podcast topics or guests are welcome.
