Pathetic, right? I've never made a blog before, I have no idea what to do, where to go, or anything of the sort. I feel as though I've gotten OHSS. I really do feel like hitting my head on a wall at the moment. Who knew modern technology could be so frustrating? ![[ndoh] [ndoh]](/images/smilies/emot_doh.gif)
Anyway, I digress. You guys certainly know what you're doing, mind helping out a blog challenged oddity?

No worries, LilyNorn! Getting into blogging can be a little daunting at first, especially with all of the customization options and the big question of what to blog about. Have you chosen a service yet? I highly recommend either Blogger or Wordpress. I'm more familiar with the former, though I can't really say anything bad about Wordpress. There are other services available, but I would recommend either of these two to begin with.
Are you stuck on customization and/or technical stuff? Or are you looking more for guidance on what to write about? I think I've said it many times, but my biggest piece of advice to potential bloggers is to simply blog about what you enjoy! If you're not having fun with it, then it can make Creatures feel more like work than an actual hobby.
If you end up going with Blogger, I would be happy to help you out with customization/layout options and all that. Sometimes that helps to open up time to actually focus on the content! Good luck, and I hope you'll be blogging soon!

The only service I've found is Blogspot, and I don't even know how to sign up... ![[nblush] [nblush]](/images/smilies/emot_blush.gif)

Blogspot is tied in with Google: I believe you need a Google account in order to sign-up, or to at least tie in the service with your Google account. You might want to check out this article for some more information about getting started. You should also find more helpful information about Blogger from the other links. I hope it helps you out!

My mum finally tempted me to start up on Blogspot/Blogger, and now I have absolutely no idea where to go from here. ![[nblush] [nblush]](/images/smilies/emot_blush.gif)

What kinds of things do you want to write about? This could help guide you as to what name and general look you might be interested in.

It's a fully Creatures related blog. I'd probably want to write about my Norns adventures, as well as updates on my Norndoll creating. ![[nsmile] [nsmile]](/images/smilies/emot_smile.gif)
Off topic here, but mum gave me permission to post pictures when I get my Norn!

That sounds like lots of fun, LilyNorn! When you say you don't know where to start, do you mean in terms of creating the blog (customization, layout, etc.) or what to post?
I'm also excited to see pictures of your Norn figurine! Hopefully you'll have him or her soon!
