New to Blogging?

Its been a month now since I have been posting and have learned a lot that I would like to share over my next few posts. Today I will give you some homework to do if your new to blogging and want to start your own blog. Here are a few easy steps to get you started.

Step 1. Go to blogger.com. And read other peoples blogs.

Step 2. Select the type of blog you want (personal, business).

Step 3. Create a google account so all the services that you use have the same username and password (from google.com click the my account in the upper right hand corner).

Step 4. Go to Namecheap.com and register a url. You can use that for your blogger blog. Mine cost me just over $9.00 for 1 year. Check the help area on blogger to learn how to change your blogs url.

Step 5. If you want to monetize your blog (make money from your blog) use adsense.
Its easy to add that right from the template tab.

That should get you started. Please check back later for more blogging help. If you have basic blogging questions just e-mail me and I'll post the question and answer.

You may continue reading about my next step in blogging here.

Big crocodile!!

Are these pics of a crocodile in New Orleans real or a hoax?

An e-mail has been going around saying "This crocodile was found in New Orleans swimming down the street. 21 FT long, 4,500 lbs, around 80 years old minimum. Specialists said that he was looking to eat humans because he was too old to catch animals. This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel. The contents of its stomach will be analyzed this Friday at 2:30pm"







Hoax!..............Kinda

The pictures are real but the location and info on the croc are wrong. Apparently, the photographs were actually taken in Pointe Noire, Republic of the Congo,in 2003. The original email message is very similar to the current version, except that the prankster has relocated the action to New Orleans rather than Africa. According to an article discussing the original message on About.com, information about this giant crocodile was published on July 17, 2003 in La Semaine Africaine, a French language Congolese magazine.

Its an African croc that is about 16 ft and 1800 LBS at about 50 yrs old.

Funny video news error!

The news man laughs at the story about lady struck by lightning.
