Maintaining your own blog is quite a popular activity. And not only in the US or Europe. At the same time, often, blogs of ordinary people who share their thoughts or advice on hobby topics are becoming more popular and visited than celebrity channels. What is it for? You can share your ideas with others, work on creating a personal brand, promote business.
What is needed for this? There are a lot of instruments. From ready-made solutions, such as LiveJournal, Blogger or site designers, to the independent creation and promotion of your resource. The second way is much more difficult, but after passing it, you will learn a lot more. How? Moving forward step by step, starting, for example, with the development of writing skills. But all the rest will have to learn gradually - there are plenty of materials on blogging in RuNet. Or you can choose a ready-made solution - for the format of a personal blog, the version with LJ in most cases will be optimal.
