I'm newbie on blog world

Into the 3rd weeks of 'blogging worlds'.. I find my new activity quite interesting!! learning many things on technical, related I.T skills, gaining varieties of knowledge and information and especially seeing few cents dropped into my google acc (paypal acc. is still '0' :D), although at the moment it's damn too low to mention :P

Anyhow, I juts want to share some things and resources I bumped into while searching for clues and help from the net on blogging world.. (can anyone vouch that 'blogging world' is the right term to use? :O)

All these infos are in 'newbies' level, so I hope you guys understand :D.

Alrite, lets begin with.

No 3. http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com <---highly recommended! By far, I found this site as the one with MOST INFORMATION for blogger's newbie. Similar to bloggertricks.com, this site also provide a details easy to follow step-by-step process.

Among the interesting articles are:

And if you ever wonder what is the BEST BLOGS for blogging in the universe, you may like to check on this site . The ranking was pretty outdated by now (maybe), but I believe those guys are still there and kicking! even better. I visits all the site listed to get more ideas and motivation to cont. blogging. BTW, you can also find out on the top blogs on SEO, web design and Celebrities! from the same site.

From one of the top blogs, I found a very good and useful ebook especially for newbies. This ebook will tell you the different from 'wannabe internet gurus' and the 'real-life example of Internet Guru', its worth readings with lots of tips and it's tottally FREE (unlike the many free report then advised to buy this and that-- familiar? :P) Sign-up and get it in your box.

And ohh! This is the reason why I started to blog now :D. Some ideas from the person might be 'different' with others opinion, but he is also making a great income form blogging.

local reference? Yes ,I got at least one.. If you are Sabahan, this site is a must read and subscribed. Gaman is among my great friends and he is a very successful Internet marketers. Very polite and kind, handsome, rich and (if not mistaken) still single too :P - sorry bro. I'll remove this if it offend.


My conclusion:
It's true that just by googling for 'blogs tips' in google will bring enormous results. Literally one can learn almost everything needed to know on blogging from Internet research alone.

However, there's also a danger of having vast Internet communities. The advantages of internet communities is also it's own disadvantages - that is it's soooooo HUGE!. Getting endless source of information might be good but there's a price to pay for over-information.

I find my self a bit over information most of the time earlier (now I'm in-control of the information flowing to me :D). Too much of information will make newbies paralyse or sluggish. I don't want to end up reading and reading and reading but no action at all ^.^

Hence, I think participating in 3-4 communities such as forums and blog community and getting the most out of it, is much more effective. That's my friend's advice and I'm doing that now... trying to find the right 'clicks' where I should belongs to.

well anyway, I certainly hope that the little suggestions above will be helpful to newbies like me.. I would also really appreciate suggestion and recommendation from seniors. I'm learning bah.

Cheers! for Monday!!!
