Blogs are said to be helpful for Bonanzle.

Hi Beauty!
I have 2 blogs one which features fellow Bonanzlers and helpful business articles (blogger.com) and one that features everything to do with my Eco-Chic Boutique and all organic and natural beauty tips, recipes and news about my new booth. (wordpress)
Many folks prefer the blogger site as it is easier/more user friendly
and more plug-ins and widgets. [URL removed]
Others prefer WordPress as it offers a cleaner format and more professional looking blog. [URL removed]
Here are my blogs in case you want to get some ideas of the differences in each blog site.
THE Eco-Chic Boutique

Blogger is one place to start. Sqidoo, myspace has a blog section too. Writing about things that relate to your products and linking them to the site. It brings traffic. Good Luck!!

Yeah Johanna… let me know when you figure it out… I started one on wordpress but never seem to keep up with it. I kow I’m missing the boat too.
You’ll be great at it cuz you are always writing, creating and promoting like with your great banners, avatars and videos.. I can’t wait to read it… hurry up!

Blogging is really easy .. the basics [URL removed]
1.PICK A TOPIC- stick to something you are passionate about and the words shall come to you.
2.CHOOSE A SITE – There are several sites to post a blog, the two most popular are Wordpress and Blogger. Blogger is the easier of the two.
3.SELECT AN APPROPERATE LAYOUT – Let the layout be a reflection of you and more importantly, the overall subject of the blog. Don’t use a background for kids if you are writing about business.
4.K.I.S.S. – Keep It Simple Stupid – Try not to ramble. Get to the point.
5.WRITE ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY- Many people think you need to write Daily. If your are using your blog as a daily journal – yes. But if not, don’t feel like you HAVE to post everyday.
6.READ IT – Yes people, read and re-read you post. Is it good? Did you cover the topic well? Did you spell everything correctly? Would YOU read it if it wasn’t yours?
7.JUST DO IT – Just Do It! ( What part of THAT don’t you understand?)
There are some “don’ts” as well … you can find them on my blog [URL removed]

I use Blogger mostly for all the blogs I have done….you can take a look at mine and if you look at my blogger profile it shows a list of blog I have made they all are different in style…..the Minima template is the easiest I think to make changes to the HMTL…..
It is really pretty easy to get one going…if you need any help I would be more then willing to help you too….
[URL removed]
there is lots of template designs on the net…most of the time I add my own background design…here is one link to get you started…
[URL removed]
there is so much you can do with the basic template like adding a 3rd column to your blog and changing everything around and adding extra areas to different spots of your blog….

you might also consider Multiply.com. Free, very easy and they offer not only blogs but marketplace listings,photo albums, groups and more. There is a group there for Bonanzle buyers/sellers and several groups for online sellers.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
