Photo blogging is becoming very popular as more and more people want to show their images to others and consequently, several completely free blog site-hosting services are available.
Setting up a blog site is very easy to do. All you will need is an internet connection and a blog hosting service like the one provided by Google. Just type in "google blogger" into your browser and follow the on screen instructions to set up your own personal blog site in four simple stages.
For those who are unfamiliar with blog sites, you can take the tour that Google provides. To start, all you have to do is to create a Google account (if you don't already have one) which is free and you will be on your way to creating your blog site in just a few minutes - it really is simple.
Once you have created your blog site, you can start to upload your pictures and add your comments or invite other people to comment on them. You can either restrict viewing of the site to your friends and family or allow anyone to view it. You decide who can see your comments and pictures and who can write to it.
You may want to restrict viewing of your blog site as a means of showing your shots to your friends and relatives in other parts of the country or the world. Alternatively, you may want to post your shots online to find people with similar interests to you, like landscapes, nature, portraits or unusual lighting effects and so on.
It can be fascinating to see the feedback that your images get but you must be brave. Some people will love your shots and others may not be so impressed - you have to take the rough with the smooth.
If you choose a theme, say, weird or unusual subjects for example, you will soon start to attract others who are interested in this topic. The challenge will then be to keep finding images in keeping with your theme so that you can post them on your blog site - so keep your camera with you at all times.
With the Google site, the latest posting appears at the top of the page where your viewers can see you newest work and comment on it.
Whether you choose to use the blog for private viewing only , or you are happy to show your work to the world at large, you will create a new outlet for your style of photography that will stimulate you to take and post more pictures. As I said earlier, this can become quite addictive and it won't be long before you are striving to take a picture a day.
It doesn't cost anything to set up a blog site like this, so give it a try and see how much more enjoyment you can get from your photography.
