5. Facebook “Notes”

Set up a free Facebook profile and have access to their RSS feature. Import your RSS feeds and every time you publish a new post your “Notes” area will update within a few minutes and also your posts will be featured on your Facebook Wall for all of your friends and contacts to view. I have noticed that videos sometimes do not appear properly and leaves a mess of code. Hopefully this will be corrected soon!

Set up a free Facebook profile to take advantage of this great feature.

6. Technorati

Claim your blog using the free service at Technorati. There can sometimes be teething problems with the initial set up but once done you will benefit from your posts being indexed and found by readers.

Claim your blog on Technorati

7. MySpace

You can use the blogs on your MySpace profile to announcements or any other content. This will work well if you have an active or popular MySpace page where your friends are regularly posting and following your updates. Especially if the have subscribed to your “Activity Stream” which is pre-checked when visitors use the “Add To Friends” button. It is also a good to link your main web site posts or provides links back to your site.

The main downside to MySpace is those annoying warning signs when you click on a link with a destination outside of  MySpace domain.

Set up a profile on MySpace.

8. OnlyWire

A handy automatic web based service for updating several bookmarking sites and social networks at a click of a button. Once you et up each profile you have an account with you just need to add the OnlyWire button to your site as a link back or pay a small fee if you prefer not to link back.

Of course it wil take some time to enter each account name and password for each of your account but once done, that’s it!

Set up your bookmarking accounts using OnlyWire.

9. 2RSS

A long established RSS directory where you can submit your RSS feeds to 2RSS

10. Feeds4All

Another RSS directory for use. Submit your RSS feeds to Feeds4All

    Hi, hello,

    I found this post helpful as I am starting a forum. Got me thinking maybe a blog would be a
    good idea too. Just want to know how to install a blog as I am not a tekkie.
    Do you have any advice how to set up a blog?

    Is blogger better than Wordpress. I want to have it on my own domain.

    thanks for your help.

    Hi Susho,

    If you’re just starting out I’d suggest hosting your blog on your own domain FIRST, AS THIS WILL SAVE YOU MUCH TIME AND HEADACHE OF HAVING TO MIGRATE YOUR BLOG AT A LATER DATE.

    I personally use WordPress for blogging and have found instructional videos to help me mange updates all by myself.

    Look here:

    and search on YouTube to view more incredibly helpful and FREE tutorials.

    Hope that helps,

    -Nancy ;-)
