How To Blog
Monday, January 03, 2005   By: Juan Paxety

Gettin in on the reformation.

If you're interested in starting your own blog, it's become much easier to get online. First, in the ads column on the right, there are usually advertisments for different blogging services and software.

To learn what's important, I recommend reading the series by Joe Carter at Evangelical Outpost entitled How To Start A Blog.

Then you'll want to buy Hugh Hewitt's book, Blog, Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing Your World. Here's the publisher's blurb:

"Blog" is short for "Web log"—an online site with time-dated postings, maintained by one or more posters, that features links and commentary. But that is like saying a car is a means of transportation featuring four wheels. Millions are changing their habits when it comes to information acquisition, and the blogosphere has appeared so suddenly as to surprise even the most sophisticated of analysts. In Blog, best-selling author Hugh Hewitt helps you catch up with and get ahead of this phenomenon.

Up until now no influential blogger has written a definitive book about this phenomenon. Since Hugh Hewitt's blog site—HughHewitt—was launched in early 2002, more than 10 million people have visited this site. Why does this visitor traffic matter? People’s attentions are up for grabs. If you depend upon the steady trust of others, suddenly you have an audience waiting to hear from you. The race is underway, though, to gain mindspace and to be part of the blogosphere readers’ habits and to position yourself as well as your business or organization at the forefront of this information movement.

You can buy the book at Amazon through this link.
