Getting Started
To get a space on the Internet and start publishing your news, articles and reflections there are now many options, the first is choosing a housing system in any of the websites that offer free space with a publishing system and preinstalled ( most recommended for novices), the second (for those already initiated into the world of computers) is to install and configure your own management tool on a web server and one for the experts.
How they work
The most quick, easy and normal to have your own blog is to register as a user in one of the many free services available on the Web in a few minutes you'll be publishing your first article.
In this mode the Blog works with a content management program already installed on the server that hosts them and that in most cases is developed by the transmission service.
Discharge to your blog
The steps for creating a page of this type are essentially the same at all. The first is to register as a user. In doing so, we assign a user name and password, with which we can access the homepage of administration and publication.
Then we follow the guidance of a small Web Wizard, we will request the necessary information: the name we want for our website, description, design and other information relevant to their creation.
After completing the wizard, we'll have our Blog up to work. Now is the Time to administer, configure it to our liking, and start working with it.
To learn how Blogs are housed in each one of these sites and what they offer you the best is to visit each of them, usually comes a list of recently updated Blogs, checked and pick the more you like or fits your needs .
Some of the stocks and shares to be configured are:
1 - The Admin
In the administration page will see a series of menus which can perform specific tasks of configuration and maintenance: delete and publish articles to define categories for classifying, insert links or images, change the appearance (background color and text), title Blog, data from the Author. In some places we can define several authors or users allowed to post on the blog.
2 - Image Hosting
The weakness of accommodation for blogs is often the limitations to the use of images. The solution is to store our photos on another free server that allows us to get more images or larger images and then link that image from our Blog by a code in HTML. The first thing to do in all cases is to register as a user, and within minutes you can start posting your pictures.
Some interesting tools that let you create a photo album on the Internet quickly and easily:
*
Flickr.com is a website that lets you upload and share your photos for free (limited to 10 MB per month). We can use it as an album in that sort and show our pictures to the world or to host the pictures on your blog if our publishing system allows us to upload images not heavy.
*
Buzznet.com is another service that allows you to create a photoblog free with an attractive design, in which friends and virtual tours can add comments to our pictures. The free basic account lets you post 60 images per month. Buzznet also resizes your images 400px wide maximum which do not have to cut you with another program.
3 - Counters Visits
This allows the author to know the number of visitors to his blog, the most read and other information from these statistics can create the same, providing for amendment of the same elements in order to achieve greater quality and quantity of people using it.
4 - Forums
Several surfers create forums on various topics, some of them just on blogs, in which exchange their knowledge and experiences, some of the most used are:
* www.boddunan.com
* www.hubpages.com
5 - Content syndication
Nearly all Blogs incorporate text links, or the famous orange buttons with the abbreviations XML, RSS, RDF, or ATOM for the reader to copy the Web address to which they point, known as feed-and inserted into a reader / aggregator or news feeds to be alerted of updates of your favorite Weblogs.
These links or buttons point to a file within the blog that contains a specific version of the information published on this site. Usually called "Archive RSS" or "Feed RSS". Each element of information contained within an RSS file is called "item".
The RSS file is rewritten automatically when any update on the contents of the website. By accessing the RSS file is impossible to know whether the contents have been updated and how news or texts, but without having to access the Web site except to read the extended version.
Have a channel or RSS file on your Blog will allow Internet users to check if you have done updates in your blog without having to enter through a feed reader installed on your computer or from a feed aggregator or online directory.
Conclusions

New words appear. but neglect to try to keep them informed so that our vocabulary is kept updated and every day we are more computer-literate.
