Creating A Blog

Again, I finally did it. First of all, I did not wait until the day of the ride to very quickly create this blog before running out of the door. This is my 5th travel blog, 4 of which are about the cross country motorcycle rides.  The other blog was about the 2014 - 2015 Waikiki, Hawaii vacation. It was necessary t.o take an airplane I started blogging in 2007.  For this blog, I wanted to write about some of the "before the ride stuff" and also, if possible to create something a little different, maybe better looking. Over the last few weeks, I had gone online and found several YouTube videos on how to start a blog.  I took notes as I watched in order to try ideas later. I did learn a few things, but this blog may still look similar to my other blogs. This is a free blog but there are many blog sites that will charge. There are pros and cons on using a free one. I decided to stay with this one, blogger.com which is operated by Google. Some of what I learned was: how to connect a link, how to work with the templates to expand your audience, how to make money using Google AdSense and also how to change backgrounds. I may also try to make adjustments on the width of this blog. This is exciting, I am on my way to blogging again.
