Looking for something to do while the server’s down? Tired of waiting for your favorite webcomic* to update? Well you could always do some real work around the house … eheh, let’s move on before my wife looks over my shoulder and reads this.
Why not start a blog? They’re easy, free, and can be very fun with very little effort.
But Splat,I don’t have a blog!
Then make one, silly! There are plenty of free blog providers out there that can get you started with almost no muss or fuss. I won’t begin to list all of them here, but some of my favorites are:
- Vox – Everything you need is built in, but it’s still simple.
- Blogger – Owned by Google
- WordPress – Runs the same software that manages this site
I’ve used all of these at one point or another and while I’ve since moved on to self-hosting, I think they’re still good services.
I don’t know what to say!
Write about your class. (Paladins are awesome.) Write about what you did recently. (Dinged to 80 last night, Rhonin mailed me some fireworks to celebrate.) Write responses to things other people have said. If you find yourself talking about a subject for more than 5 minutes on Vent or in game, you could probably make it into a blog post with little to no effort.
No one will read it anyway.
I will, if you send me a link. I’ll even link to it here if it’s relatively kid/work-safe (see Rule 5). And you’ll be surprised at how many people will find your blog through Google searches or perhaps when they do a search to see who’s linking to them. (Remember when I mentioned posting responses to what others say?)
Still seems like too much work. Can’t I just post on this blog?
*Is probably not your favorite webcomic.
