Ikirodah said blogging started as an opportunity for individuals to write diary-style entries, but it has since been incorporated into websites for many businesses. The hallmarks of blogging include; frequent updates, informal language, and opportunities for readers to engage and start a conversation, he explains.
To start with, the editor-in-chief said, one needs to have real passion about what he or she wants to write. “It is the passion that keeps you awake when others are sleeping, just to keep your audience updated on latest development. “Next is for you to choose a name for your blog, a unique name that people will always remember. After that, you will need to employ a web host, someone that ensures your blog is accessible to everyone. The next thing for you to do is to choose your blogging platform. We have plenty of them, but I prefer WordPress, because it is flexible to use,” he says.
