What’s the Write Way to Blog?
Hello and welcome to my blog- How to Play the Sims. If you are new, you can visit my blog and catch up by reading my previous posts. Follow me @simgirl to receive my newest posts in your Steemit feed.
I will be beginning the new tutorial of How-to Play the Sims soon, by starting a new game, and creating Sally Steemit. If you have not voted for the Sally Steemit you want to follow in this blog, please go here to vote: Vote Here!
In the meantime, I have seen many very talented writers who have been making a huge impact in the introduce yourself posts. I’m starting to think that my writing skills are far inferior to these new Steemitions, and I need to start going back to learning how to write.
There is no reason I should be keeping this information to myself, or learn alone. Here’s some good tips for writing a blog.
The Anatomy of a Blog Post, suggests that we use an awesome headline, catchy picture, and an introduction. This will help the reader understand, who you are, what your posts are about, and why they should read your blog. It is also advised to check the copyright of the pictures.
So how do we do that?
After fifteen minutes looking up how to figure out the copyright laws of a picture on Google search, what I learned is, now I have a headache. But I did find one comment that linked a site called, Creative Commons
This site allows you to search for content that you can share, use, and remix. All you do is pick the search engine, type the topic, or picture you want, and the site takes you to all the available content. The site does advise to follow the picture’s link to be sure it is under a CC license.
While browsing the web, I also came across a gem of an article from a blog called I’m Not the Nanny, in which she explains how-to write 13 blog posts a week- without going insane.
Thien-Kim, the author of the blog, suggests learning to write every day, by establishing a routine. She treats herself to a cup of coffee in the morning when she sits down to write. This way, her writing is associated with a good feeling. Using a swipe file, or a file that collects her writing, she stores article ideas, and topics to use in her blog. She then looks at those files when she needs a new idea. She also, suggests bumping up your titles to sound more interesting.
The last website I found is named, The Sway. This site is filled with information for writers. Most of the information is focused on starting a blog on the internet, and using dinosaur platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, but you can sift through the information and take what you need. Then, you can use what you find here on Steemit.
I hope this post has helped you learn more about writing your own blog, and provided you with some helpful websites to research. I will continue to look for interesting sites as I learn more about writing, and blogging.
Until next time,
Happy Steeming- Sim Girl

Another great breakdown @simgirl!
One tip from me, so your head stops hurting!
On google image search I first search for my goal, lets say I am looking for friends.
Then I can click on settings, and go down to advanced search. This will take us to a window like this:
If we scroll down to usage rights, we can select from several options. I consider that we are not making 'money' here, at least not money as defined by the government, instead we are using and sharing! Once I pick free to use and share, I click advanced search.
Here we can see that we get a different set of pictures, mostly not showing the faces of any of the television friends!
Hopefully this guide to finding friends will help you ;p
Thanks! That was very helpful!
Somehow this platform makes explaining that fun for me.
