How To Set Up a Blog Site
Jun 29th, 2007 by Deuce
When I first got the idea to make this site, I did not consider that it would be a such a new experience in and of itself and be something that I would write about. Making a web site was not even in my preliminary of topic ideas, but as I encountered the issues that I did, it just made sense to me to write about the process. I know there will many other issues as I go on and there are several steps I went through on the site already that I haven’t posted about; I will revisit this process and write more about it later. One step that I had not even considered originally is that of monetizing the blog which I accomplished with Google’s AdSense. I will detail how I did it later; I am just amazed how easy it was and even more that it is already making me money, about $20 in the first day alone. Considering that the site still in its infancy and most, if not all, of my visitors at this point are my friends and colleagues, it has been a pleasant surprise that should only get better as my content and readership increases.
