Have you ever thought about starting a blog? Or have you ever wanted to write about something that you are passionate about? This is the situation I found myself in last year – wanting to write and share with others ideas on how to live inspiring lives. Today you are looking at what resulted from that want, and today I will share with you what I have learned from my first 90 days of blogging. I hope to hear from you (via comments) any questions you may have on blogging so that you, too, can start writing your own wonderful blog.
Getting started
They say the best way to learn is by doing, so last November I launched my site www.livetoinspire.ca. Getting started was relatively easy. The first thing I did was grab a domain name from GoDaddy, which was really simple. You can search for the domain name you want right from their landing page, and if you find one you like all you have to do is follow the steps to purchase it. GoDaddy even offers hosting plans. At first I set myself up with one of their free hosting options, but after a little digging I found the Wordpress hosting option would suit my needs much better. To take a step back, Wordpress runs two websites – Wordpress.org and Wordpress.com. The latter is an option if you just want to start blogging and don’t really care about having your own domain name (think Blogger). The former is for those who have their own domain name and want to use the easy Wordpress web application for maintaining their blog. This is what I use and it’s been easy to get up and running. That’s really it! (1) Purchase a domain name from GoDaddy (2) Sign up for an account at www.wordpress.org (3) Purchase a Wordpress Hosting plan from GoDaddy. Easy as 1-2-3.
If you want to monetize your site right away, that’s easy, too. The fastest way to get this going is to sign up for a free Google Adsense account. Once signed up, you can add google ads to your site quite easily. There are resources available on the internet to learn more about this and how to use Google Adsense to your utmost advantage. Another way I have monetized my site is by signing up for the Amazon Affiliates program. This allows me to add links to books I recommend on my site, and from sales I earn a commission. Again, I have found this to be very easy to use.

As I write this post the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games are drawing to a close. In the eyes of many these games have been a great success for both Canadian athletes and for all Canadians who have supported them and cheered them on. In total, Canada won 26 medals – 5 Bronze, 7 Silver, and 14 Gold. Those 14 Gold are the most ever won by a host nation, and beats the record for the most gold medals ever won at a Winter Olympic Games.
Like many Canadians, I have been absorbed by these games, watching every possible moment. Celebrating our successes and feeling sadness for our disappointments (I still love you Melissa Hollingsworth). It saddens me that the games have to end, but I am grateful for all the moments that I have been able to share with my fellow Canadians. Today I am going to share with you, thanks to the CTVOlympics Channel on YouTube, my favourite moments from these Olympic Games. If you are not familiar with this channel, you can re-live hundreds of Olympic moments here.
So without further delay, here are my favourite moments from the 2010 Olympic Games (note: links will take you to YouTube):
Alexandre Bilodeau: Gold Medal Moment – Men’s Moguls
Team Canada: Gold Medal Moment – Men’s Hockey
Jon Montgomery: Gold Medal Moment – Men’s Skeleton
Joannie Rochette: Bronze Medal Moment – Figure Skating
There are so many moments that could be listed here. Take a browse through YouTube to find many more, and share with me through your comments what your favourite moments were. Thank you for visiting!
