provide a simple way for family and friends to stay connected from
different parts of the world by sharing stories, photos, videos and

does exist to generate revenue from your blog with hard work and
commitment. There are many bloggers who bring in big bucks. With
patience and practice, you can make money through advertising and other income-generating activities on your blog.

Many
people start a blog simply for fun. Perhaps a blogger is a fan of a
particular actor or loves knitting and wants to share that passion
through a blog. One of the most important keys to successful blogging is
having a passion about your blog's topic, so you can write prolifically
about it. Some of the best and most interesting blogs started out as
blogs that were written just for fun and to give the blogger a creative
outlet.
