Blogorish For You

Blog co-Author: Windy

This is about an online chat between two guys. One who wants to learn how to blog and the other who blogs. For the sake of making it easy, I shall name the first guy as “Wannabe” and the other guy as “Blogger”.

Wannabe: Hi! My friend said that I will learn a good deal about Blogs by talking to you.
Blogger: LOL

Wannabe: What’s LOL?
Blogger: Sorry, it’s L.O.L really.

Wannabe: Ok. (pretends that he knows LOL with periods) So can you advise me how should I start my blog?
Blogger: Hmmm, I think you should begin with Blogger

Wannabe: Yes, that’s what I want to be, a Blogger. Now how do I do that?
Blogger: Like I just told you, you begin with Blogger.

Wannabe: Yes, I know I have to begin as a Blogger but how?
Blogger: go to www.blogger.com.

Wannabe: What do I do when I go to this site?
Blogger: You create an Account so that you login every time you need to blog.

Wannabe: Login?
Blogger: Yes, and you will need an email account too for registering yourself.

Wannabe: Gosh! there’s so many things that I have to do. Wait let me write that down.
Blogger: Take your time.

Wannabe: After I have my account, what next?
Blogger: You become one of millions in Blogosphere.

Wannabe: Where’s that located?
Blogger: It’s not a geographical location. It’s a term used to describe a place on the internet for bloggers.

Wannabe: Do they have a President of Blogosphere? You know like nations have Governments.
Blogger: No, Blogosphere does not have any governing body.

Wannabe: That sounds cool. What do I do next?
Blogger: You need to select a good blog theme, create a nice banner, filling it with widgets, sign up with social networks, strive to increasing your traffic, making drops, leaving comments and messages, publishing interesting articles, use I Follow You Comment, injecting as many images into your material to make it interesting to read, getting as much backlinks, advertising your Blog, accepting Blog Awards, joining Blog Contests or creating your own Contest and you must know basic html and javascript languages at the least.….

Wannabe: Whoaaa! Slow down please. What is all that?
Blogger: That my good friend, is blogging.

Wannabe: Sounds so greek to me.
Blogger: Well, if you want to be a Blog geek, all that becomes necessary.

Wannabe: You mentioned social networks. What is that?
Blogger: Oh there are several out there.

Wannabe: Like?
Blogger: Like there is EC and also Adgitize,

Wannabe: I have to join the European Community?
Blogger: No, that’s EntreCard

Wannabe: Oh! and does Adgitze mean I have to make trouble?
Blogger: Look, I can’t possibly explain everything in detail. Of course you’re not supposed to blog and create trouble.

Wannabe: So I still don’t understand what is Social Networking.
Blogger: Ok, let me try this. Have you heard about Facebook and Twitter?

Wannabe: Sorry, I haven’t. Facebook? Is that a book with a face on it? Do I have to get one to be a Blogger?
Blogger: Oh my. You’re so…. I can already tell what you’re going to say about Twitter in a second.

Wannabe: Yeah, sounds like place for lunatics. You know an asylum where there are lots of twits.
Blogger: LOL

Wannabe: (imitates) LOL
Blogger: You’re learning fast.

Wannabe: (reads his notes) You also mentioned about backlinks? What is that?
Blogger: That is when another Blogger links you from behind.

Wannabe: WHAT? What do you mean? Hey! I won’t allow that. I am straight.
Blogger: LOLROTFWMLDITA!

Wannabe: And what is that?
Blogger: Hold on chap. Brb.

Wannabe: (while waiting) these Bloggers are so funny. He just left and said brb. Now what on earth is that?

—–moments later——-

Blogger: am back now

Wannabe: thank you for rejoining me.
Blogger: yw

Wannabe: No my name is Wannabe. You could call me wb
Blogger: Yes I know that.

Wannabe: But you said yw. That isn’t me.
Blogger: Gosh, you ask too many questions.

Wannabe: Oh! I am sorry if I am troubling you. Now what was that LOLROTFWMLDITA?
Blogger: That’s short for Laughing Out Loud Rolling On The Floor With My Legs Dangling In The Air!

Wannabe: I must say that to blog needs a lot of body movement too.
Blogger: It’s up to you if you think you can handle it.

Wannabe: Yes, indeed. Like you mentioned I have to do drops every time I blog. Blogging must be good for physical health.
Blogger: I never heard that being said before.

Wannabe: There is so much to learn. Do I have to be a linguist too?
Blogger: No, I see you can write in English. That will be sufficient.

Wannabe: Then what are html and javascript languages?
Blogger: Let me say, It’s BLOGORISH.

Wannabe: Another language to learn?
Blogger: Hey, I have to go now. Talk to you when you’re OL. (logs out)

Wannabe: What is OL? I am not old. I have just finished High School.
Blogger:

Wannabe: Hello!
Blogger;

Wannabe: Hello! Blogger are you still here?
Blogger:
