How To Start Your Own Photo Blog
Written on October 17, 2009 – 1:26 pm | by Laural Kay
It seems like almost everyone has a digital camera these days that can snap images of just about anything in a matter of moments. Using digital photos instead of the traditional film and paper print photos is cheap, there is no wasted paper to end up in the garbage and they take up virtually no physical space at all!
And what’s better than just snapping lots of digital photos is the fun way you can display them to others. There are many different ways to let others enjoy your photos, from digital picture frames to printing them out to keeping them on your mobile phone. Whether you are a pro photographer or an amateur photography novice you’ll still like the ease of digital photography.
A “web log” or blog is a website that allows an photographer to post instant updates onto Internet about just about any subject imaginable. A photography blog can include the digital photos you took on any specific day or trip. One of the newest ways to share your photographs to others is with a photography blog. You can add comments about your photographs and you can inform people about why you took the images and what was happening when you took them.
To begin a photography blog you only need to find some no cost blogging sites and pick a blog name. Most blogging sites are fairly simple to get started with. You simply write your ideas out in a post, insert your digital photos from your PC and the blogging site pretty much does the rest. When you are happy with a post you “publish” it and anyone on the internet can instantly see it!
Remember a blog can be a two-way communication tool! With a photography web log you can not only allow others to see your photos but you can also allow visitors to write comments on your posts. Getting feedback from views to your web log is part of the excitement of putting your images online. If you allow comments on your photos then you can also discover what other people like and don’t like about your photos.
Don’t worry about always writing a post that’s going to make other people happy. It’s your photo blog and you can post pictures of whatever you want. You can share images of a trip to Florida one day and then post photos of some trees in your front yard the next day. Just try to have fun with the ability to publish your electronic photos so quickly with your own blog!
