Book Description
Today, it seems everyone―from multinational corporations to your kid’s second-grade teacher―has a blog. They all have one, in part, because they have information they want to share with others―from customers and clients to neighbors and parents. But to actually build a good blog―to create a blog people want to read―takes thought, planning, and some effort. From picking the right TypePad plan and working with domains to managing posts and building a community, creating a successful blog involves making critical decisions at each step. In this book by blogger extraordinaire Scott McNulty, you’ll learn how to:
- Set up your account and work with blog-specific settings.
- Customize your blog to fit your personal or business needs.
- Manage your site with TypePad’s Dashboard.
- Monitor and make sense of traffic.
- Work with pages and―of course―publish your posts.
- Deal with comments, manage trackbacks, and handle comment spam.
- Find a stock theme―or customize one yourself.
- Work with images and photos.
