  • Try posting ads on your blog's page. Do blog pieces promoting other products or business, and ask for samples to critique -- sometimes the companies will be glad to help, especially if you have a decent level of readership. Or, you can sell a few things that relate to your blog.

  I'm writing material that might eventually become a book. Is there a way to protect the content I put on my blog?

  Ayan Xawar Tech

  Community Answer

  • It's worth reading a (short) book about online copyright law before you start a project like that. The exact requirements vary based on your location, but it's a good idea to put a copyright notice at the bottom of every page. A unique title for your blog will also make it easier to catch people who steal your content.

  I'm trying to create a blog on Google Blogger and it keeps saying the address is invalid. Help!

  Ayan Xawar Tech

  Community Answer

  • You can get around this bug by trying again in a new "incognito" or "private" browser window, or on a different device. If you have created many blogs on one account or one device, you might need to wait until tomorrow.

  Are there any other sites to create a blog on?

  Ayan Xawar Tech

  Community Answer

  • Yes, there are. Try Blog.com, for example. One of the great hidden things about this is the domain: if you use it for free, you have to use the subdomain (blog.com), but it fits in naturally. If you're willing to put in money, Squarespace will work for you.
