Writing a good sex blog isn’t rocket science - I’m sure there are plenty of resources for people out there. I thought I’d share my experience with it here, though, and maybe offer a few tips you haven’t seen before. Today’s post is Starting Your Own Sex(y) Blog and tomorrow I’ll follow up with Monetize Your Blog and then Increase Your Blog Traffic, so check back for more.
Like I was saying, writing your own sex blog is totally doable. You should sign up with either Blogger or Wordpress. My personal preference is Wordpress. We use it for all of our blogs. Wordpress is more user-friendly, in my opinion, and I have used both. I think there are also more widgets and themes available for Wordpress, but I could be wrong. And what’s a widget, you ask? Widgets are the options you can add to your blog, like calendars, top posts, statistics, tag clouds, etc. You probably want a theme that is widget friendly.
You’ll want to know what the column size is of your text because you may need to re-size images so that they don’t look squished in your blog. There are a lot of programs that can resize and entire folder of photos at once. For people like me, who have several blogs, this can be a real time saver. Catalina Loves and Breathplay both use 500 wide photos, for example, while The Momme Domme and Mr. and Mrs. Kink (dot com) are sized to 700 wide. So when I choose photos for Catalina Loves, I look for photos that are larger than 400 to begin with, because resizing them from say, 100 wide to 500 wide, will make them look terrible. It’s always better to size down than to size up - just make sure to keep the original aspect ratio, though.
You can host your site with Wordpress or Blogger (that means your site URL will look like yourblog.wordpress.com or yourname.blogger.com). Just because you can host your site with them doesn’t mean that you should. They have limitations on bandwidth, storage space, and usage. By purchasing your own domain, you have more autonomy over what you post (no censorship). You also can choose a URL like yourblog.com.
Finding a host that provides service for adult based sites can be difficult (and how do you know who do host with?!) I highly recommend ExJinn Networks. We’ve hosted our sites with them since their inceptions, and as we go about our business setting up blogs for others, we host their sites there, too. They specialize in adult content and have great start up prices. I could go on and on about them. I love it when people do what they love and do it well!
So dive in, join the sea of sex bloggers. Just beware of sharks.
