Keep in mind - I am giving you some tools to help you make you a good blog, but you can still do additional research via search engines and youtube to continue to find other tools. I only want to steer you in to right direction.
I personally used all these tools to create this site and others. Someone who does not know a lot about websites or html can follow the instructions from the videos and make something happen. As far as those of you who already know this stuff. Sorry, you might me bored right now. The marketing stuff is coming hold your horses. I will get to that.
Your blog should take some thought on your part.
I know what you are thinking you have clicked on blogs - ranked on page 1 or 2 of google that look really ratty. You don't have to be like them. Have your blog looking decent. Do not leave it plain. Find a nice back ground.
Rule of thumb, keep your site clean and easy to understand. That will go a long way. Have fun with it but keep it professional; no teddy bears or crayons. Leave that for your blog about books for kids and toys. Your choices are endless so don't get stuck. Make your decisions and move on.
