Writers aspiring to publication know they should have a Web site, but most don’t even think about having a blog. The Web site doesn’t necessarily have to come first. While there are other ways to have a free online presence, a blog is probably the easiest.

I have this blog, plus I do the blog for Kentucky Christian Writers Conference. Check out the others, Tennessee Christian Reader, which is a book review blog, and my devotional journal.

If you have a Google or Gmail account, you can start blogging on Blogger right away. There are several designs to choose from. Some of the blogs I follow use Blogger and add their own unique design. This blog is a basic Blogger design with my own graphics in the heading. Others get really creative with their designs, still using Blogger:

Kathy Carlton Willis Communications
Little Nuances by Lee Warren
Rachelle Gardner, Literary Agent
The Writing Life by Terry Whalin

Get started blogging today! Set it up and practice until you’re ready to let the public know about it. Meanwhile, I invite you to subscribe to any and all of my blogs.
