Hey guys,
First post, love the site!
I have no experience with blogs, so I want to start one to learn the ins and outs. I learn by doing, so I'm ready to jump in.
My plan is to start blogging on a subject I'm really interested in and monetize with adsense. My questions are the following:
1) Which blogging software? I read how some are more SE friendly than others.
2) Templates - I also have read where it is important to change the default template. Is this true? Where is a good place to get templates.
3) Generating traffic - what methods are popular for generating traffic for blogs. I'm looking mostly white hat here. I know I'll need some links and original content, but are there methods that are specific to blogs that I may be missing?
4) Any other suggestions?
I will be more than happy to keep everyone updated on my progress as well. I'm sure other blog newbies will be interested.
Thanks!
