Choose a Topic
First you need to decide what you’ll write about. Blogs cover all subjects so whatever your interests you’re sure to find a corner of the blogosphere where you can share your passion.
Whatever you decide to blog about make sure you have plenty to say because there’s nothing worse than starting a blog and finding you can only write half a dozen posts on the subject before exhausting your knowledge or sickening yourself of the topic.

Choosing a name for your blog is not unlike choosing a …

FamilyVie is a brand new site which I think all parent bloggers should take a look at. It aims to highlight the best parent centric content on the web, and the great thing is you can submit your very own content. Readers then vote the best content meaning that the most popular stuff gets even more views and a more prominent position on their webpage.
As a blogger FamilyVie can help you;
* Gain traffic
* Raise your profile
* Gain readers
You don’t even have to write new content you simply submit …

Thanks to Emily of Babyrambles for this post. Emily’s a finalist in the MADs for Best Baby Blogger.
How do you get your blog noticed in the ever-crowded blogosphere? I joined British Mummy Bloggers last summer, and since then almost 1,000 more people have joined. I?ve cleverly worked out this means there are 1,000 more blogs in the parenting blogosphere.
There?s no doubt that finding readers for your blog was easier a year ago. And if your blog was good, you hardly needed to promote it at all. Things have changed …

This is a post by Becky for The Great British Blog Festival. Becky blogs over at www.babybudgeting.co.uk She has a great belief in resourecful and supportive communities.
When Great Grandma was a young mum, al her pals were too. They lived near each other and none of them had formal jobs. They were all on quite a budget. As a result they shared skills (hairdressing for an apple pie?) shared knowledge (here?s how to get out blueberry stains, ooh I know where you can get a cheap pram) and generally …

For years I have been boring friends and family senseless helpfully offering unsolicited advice to friends and family alike with my tips on cooking/cleaning and bargain hunting. In fact at work I used to carry the nickname ‘asknatalie.com’, and I was often approached for advice on a number of topics like present ideas, places to go to eat out and discount deals.
A year ago, I made the biggest decision of my life to give up my job (and the …

This is a guest post by Geeky Mummy for the Great British Blog Festival.
I was completely unaware of personal blogging until a year or so ago, and stumbled over the concept through the online parenting and pets forums at Craigslist. ?Get a blog? people would reply if a poster wrote an enormous long diatribe. My good friend and fellow Craigslist junkie did just that, and when I read her blog (which is here, at from stage dives to station wagons) I was hooked. My dear friend, who moved up to …

Thanks to ‘Emily’ of MTJAM for this insight into anonymous blogging for the Great British Blog Festival. Emily is a finalist in the MADs funniest blog category.
The internet is a vast, anonymous city, made up of pockets of neighbourhoods where everybody knows everybody. When you start a blog you can choose to go unnoticed, you can choose to hide your true identity, or you can choose to throw yourself into community life. I choose to write anonymously. Having my real name all over the internet would …

When I was a wee lad, my Daddy sat me on his knee and said: ‘blogging, son; it’s a hard life…aye, I remember my first post like it were yesterday…and my first comment! I were so proud…’ He actually said none of that; because he couldn’t use a computer, he wasn’t from Yorkshire and the internet was just a back-of-an-envelope idea the …

I’m inspired! Guest Post Day was amazing again and I think it’s time to celebrate this phenomenon that is blogging.
Introducing The Great British Blog Festival, like a carnival, but not a carnival. A festival of blogging!
How it will work…
I’m inviting bloggers to submit their posts on blogging to me. Each day one will be published on a host blog. My two blogs will both be host blogs and if we need more host blogs then we’ll deal with that if it happens.
The festival will run from …
