How to Start Blogging in Your Senior Years

1. Determine what topics you wish to cover in your blog.
2. Think of a name that is short and to the point.
3. Choose blogging software to start your blog on. Wordpress is a popular and easy one to use.
4. Once you have set up your blog you may wish to start blogging straightaway. However, it may be worth your while to make an "About" page. From your control panel, click on Pages and on Edit. Hover over the default about page and click on the Edit link. Fill in some information about youself.
5. When you are ready to start making posts, click on the Posts section in the control panel. Click on Add New Item, you will be taken to a new page. Fill in the subject, body, tags, and the category/categories.
6. If you need more time to make a post, be sure to click Save Draft to keep an unpublished copy at hand.
7. Click 'Publish' when your post is finished.
