Starting a blog
« on: July 14, 2014, 09:34:00 PM »
I've been reading a few blogs recently from people who suffer from BPD... I've been finding them really inspiring, they're so cleverly written and make me feel so much better after I've read them, like Someone understands? Which I rarely feel..

I would really like to try writing my own... But I'm not much of a writer and also not very technical on the internet and have no idea where to start? I also don't want to open myself up to abuse online... I've always felt very safe writing on here because everyone's so nice but I know lots of people on the internet aren't as genuine...

Does anyone have any experience of starting a blog? Know where to start? Or what to expect?

Thanks

Thanx both, rob I wanted to make it as informative as possible with links to things I've found useful etc and sort of make it my own, but i could use that room to see what people think, I've posted one ramble in there already ..

I will check out those suggestions lea591 .. That's a good start, thanx

Tbh I think I'm not good enough at writing to make it like the ones I've read but who knows practise makes perfect  ::)

I disagree, sorry.

I've seen the poems you write. I think you're very good at writing Jewel.

Putting things into words that I've often felt but not known how to communicate before.

You have a talent with it.

Can brother-in-law help with the technical side maybe? Xx
