How To Start Your Own Photo Blog

By Lauren Kay

Digital photos are everywhere you look these days! Using digital photographs instead of the traditional film photos is cheap, there is no used paper to end up in landfills and they take up virtually no physical space at all! It seems like almost everyone has a digital camera these days that can snap photos of just about anything in a matter of seconds.

Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur shutterbug you'll still appreciate the ease of digital photography. And what's better than just snapping lots of digital photos is the fun way you can share them with others. There are lots of different ways to share your photos, from electronic picture frames to printing them out to storing them on your mobile phone.

One of the most fun ways to share your images to others is by publishing a photography blog. A blog is a website that allows an photographer to post instant updates onto Internet about just about any subject imaginable. A photography "web log" can include the digital photographs you took on any given day or trip. You can include your written thoughts about your photographs and you can inform people about why you snapped the photos and what was happening when you took them.

To begin a photography blog you only need to find some no cost blogging software and pick a blog name. Most blogging sites are easy to get started with. You simply type your thoughts out in a post, upload your digital photographs from your camera and the blogging software pretty much does the rest. When you are satisfied with a post you "publish" it and anyone on the internet can instantly read it!

Remember a blog can be a 2-way communication tool! With a photography web log you can not only allow others to see your photos but you can also allow people to comment on your posts. Getting feedback from views to your blog is part of the excitement of putting your photos online. If you allow comments on your posts then you can also discover what other people like and don't like about your photos.

It is your photography blog and you can put up pictures of whatever you like. You can share some images of a trip to Florida one day and then put up photos of some trees in your back yard the next day. Don't worry about always writing a post that's going to make other people happy. Just try to enjoy the ability to share your digital photos so quickly with your own blog!
