5 Essential Things You Need As a Blogger

Being a blogger doesn’t mean that we only have to write anything we like in our blog without thinking on the quality of the article. Make extra effort to gain extra interest among readers. It’s the effort and creativity that makes a visitor stays for more
In this article, I will state my personal recommendation regarding of the things you need as a blogger. Yup, I mean a NEW blogger. I have chosen 5 things but actually there’s more because I’ll just pick some of my favourites
The same article can be found in my other blog : Blogging2U.com
- Photo Editing Program
- Image Hosting Account
- Dictionary/Thesaurus
- Screen Capture Program
- Code Editor
Photoshop should be a great option for photo editing but unfornately it takes time to load. Photoshop can be used for creating an image from scratch while Photoscape is great for editing photos especially in bulk. I’d suggest using Photoscape as it is very lightweight and offers a lot of useful tools for photo editing
This is very essential for every blogger which means that each one of them should have at least an image hosting account. There are many websites that offers image hosting services but Imageshack and Photobucket are the most popular. Personally, I’d recommend Photobucket as it is fast and reliable
Altough it sounds weird but these things should come in handy in order for you to come up with interesting words. Don’t be rigid, but instead try to be different from others. Indirectly, you will learn something new everyday. Who knows?
Hitting Print Screen key on your keyboard and then paste it to Paint. Is that what you always do? Maybe you’re never heard of screen capture program. Basically what screen capture program do is that they will save webpage automatically as an image according to your selection. Try using ScreenGrab! for Firefox addons or MWSnap 3. Both are great!
Most intermediate and advanced web developer uses code editor like Adobe Dreamweaver because it also offers visual editor. But for a blogger like us that just might need some minor changes in our code, you might want to consider on using Notepad++. Basically, it is just an advanced version of the usual text editor, Notepad but comes with many different programming language
Hope these info really helps in order for you to build a better blog. Let me know if you had other things in mind :)
