How To Begin Your Own Photo Blog

By Laura Kay

Digital photos are everywhere you look these days! Using digital photographs instead of the traditional film photos is cost-effective, there is no used paper to end up in landfills and they take up almost no physical space at all! It seems like almost everyone has a cell phone camera these days that can snap images of just about anything in a matter of moments.

And what's better than just snapping lots of digital photos is the easy way you can share them with others. There are lots of different ways to share your photos, from electronic picture frames to printing them out to keeping them on your PDA. Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur shutterbug you'll still enjoy the convenience of digital photography.

One of the growing ways to display your photos to others is with a photo blog. A "web log" or blog is a website that allows an photographer to publish instant updates onto World Wide Web about just about any topic imaginable. A photo "web log" can include the digital photographs you took on any given day or trip. You can include comments about your photographs and you can tell people about why you snapped the images and what was happening when you took them.

To start a photography blog you only need to find some no cost blogging software and pick a blog name. Most blogging sites are easy to get started with. When you are happy with a post you "publish" it and everyone on the planet can instantly read it! You simply type your thoughts out in a post, upload your digital photos from your computer and the blogging site pretty much does the rest.

Getting feedback from visitors to your blog is part of the fun of putting your photos online. With a photo blog you can not only share your photos with others but you can also allow visitors to write comments on your posts. If you allow comments on your posts then you can also learn what other people like and don't like about your photos.

You can put up some photos of a vacation one day and then post photos of some flowers in your back yard the next day. Remember not to worry about always composing a post that's perfect. It's your photo blog and you can post pictures of whatever you want. Just try to have fun with the ability to publish your electronic photographs so easily with your own blog! - 32363
