Laingan.com

I started this Laingan.com personal Blog of mine one month ago. How time flies? It has been a month already. I have already published 29 Blog posts so far. Hmm…….this result is not bad. I think my Blog is doing fine and it is updated quite consistently except for certain days that I didn’t update it due to I was too tired and went to bed early.

I chose to start a personal Blog because I wanted to put my thoughts into words and capture the special moments in life. I would have a record of what I have done before when I look back from 10, 20, 30 or even more years from now. I think it will be interesting to read back the Blog posts in time to come.

I remember when I was about to start the Blog, I was busy choosing which Blog theme that I wanted to use besides the domain name and web hosting. I like simple, plain and clean Blog theme/template. I had been browsing through many websites and I’m lucky to find this free WordPress theme designed by Nurudin Jauhari who is an Indonesian Blog theme designer.

This Blog theme is simple and a bit colourful so it is not too dull. I like this Blog and the Blog theme. I hope you like my Blog too.

If you have been following my Blog, you should have noticed that I had blogged about the Bubble 2.0 song in my Blog post a few days ago.

I like the lyric of the Bubble 2.0 song and it says :

Blog, blog, blog it all

Blog it if it’s big or small

Do you have a Blog? If yes, you are already part of the Blogosphere world. You would know that Blogging can be done in plain English. However, I won’t be surprised if you don’t have a Blog. This is because there are still many people out there don’t know what a Blog is really all about. A Blog is like an alien to them.

What is a Blog? What is Blogging? Who are the Bloggers? If you raise these questions to whoever you know, I’m quite sure that not many people would know how to answer them correctly.

I have got a simple video that explains what Blogging is all about in great details. I hope the video helps to clear your doubts about Blogging :

I received an email from my friend, the GFF, who shared a funny video clip relating to Blogging with me. The video sums up the present Blogging atmosphere over the Internet. Its song is pretty entertaining and I guess it might brighten up your day. 

If you have been Blogging online for quite some time, I believe you should be familiar with the following Internet terms :

Google, FaceBook, MySpace,YouTube, WordPress, Skype, FeedBurner, Technorati, Digg, Stumble Upon, Del.icio.us, RSS, Twitter, Squidoo and so on. 

The video clip has a funny and witty lyric that tells everybody that Blogging can be done anywhere, any time, so long as you have something to say.

Here is an excerpt of the lyric :

Yes, I do. Want some more? Go and watch the video clip now :

I have taken up a web-hosting plan and gotten a free domain name from BlueHost. Finally, my personal Blog is up and running. So, welcome to my Blog!

This is the first post of my personal Blog and I have been asking myself what I shall write about in this opening post. Well, after thinking for a while, I feel that it is better to make things natural by writing whatever is coming to my mind. After all, this is what Blogging is all about, isn’t it?

Actually, I have three Blogs altogether but this Blog is my first personal one. I have had taken up a WordPress Jumpstart short course that was set up by my friend and his business partners one year ago. That was the time that I got to know about using WordPress platform to start a Blog although I knew very little about Blogging.

I thought that Blogging is the toy of celebrities, teenagers, journalists, etc. in the past. However, I was wrong after joining the WordPress Jumpstart course because anybody can set up his or her own Blog quite easily by following what we have had learnt in the course.

Frankly speaking, I have to admit that setting up a WordPress Blog and get it hosted on a paid web hosting with a purchased domain name is not something that is easy to do if you don’t have the technical know-how.

It won’t be as easy as setting up a Blog on a free hosting such as the Blogger.com. Probably, this is the reason as to why some people still prefer to host their Blogs on Blogger.com, Multiply.com, WordPress.com, etc. to getting a paid one. But for me, I still prefer to get my Blog hosted on a paid web-hosting service to a free one so that I can have more control over my own Blog site and won’t have to worry about my Blog being shut down by the free web-hosting service provider without prior notice.

So, that is my web hosting preference. Now, you do know how I started my Blogging journey, don’t you?
