Hello All
I am thinking of working on creating a very simple, informative and easy to follow photography blog.
Currently hunting for ideas like - should it be a video based blog? should it be just some small tutorials explaining various concepts? where should I start? how do I get to write informative articles related to photography?
Cheers
Samy

Hello,
There is alot of info we can add to this idea. Here are a few to get us started. In my experience of creating blogs, Wordpress is good for helping the individual to find followers as well as getting more traffic to your sites. I have used a variety of blogs and Wordpress seems to bring in the traffic much quicker and more consistently.
Also, adding videos and pictures to your blog in one way to increase traffic to your sites. I have seen this in many situtaions - so in my opinion this is always a good idea. And - you are creating a photography site - so you will definitely need photographs to add! :0)
One of the most important things is to create content that will drive your blog. The saying "Content is King" rings true in my opinion (I know some may argue with me here, but it has been true in projects I have worked on).
I am looking forward to hearing some other ideas and comments on this post. Thanks for adding it!

You could start on the Wordpress platform and choose a nice theme for starters. As for the content, you should really write whatever you feel appeals to you, don't write stuff you hate because you feel they might be more popular - a couple months down the line you'll start hating it and give up completely.

Just be consistent, persevering, and write (or video blog) about what you love. Make it as personal as you can. Just like any other worthy thing, it'll take time and plenty of work and passion, so you will need to be patient.
