Action Tips: Start a Blog or Video Blog
If you don't know what blogging is, we have to ask, "Where have you been?"
"Blog" is an abbreviated version of "weblog," a term used to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog is a frequently updated, personal website featuring diary-type commentary. There are blogs online about just about everything; some people write about their lives, the good, the bad and the ugly, others blog about politics or current events. So, yes, there’s plenty of room out there for your blog about your cause.
- Write the blog with personality, people want to hear opinions
- Talk about current events with a focus on your cause or issue
- Partner with other blogs and share links
- Use video whether you create it or just embed it from youtube
- Use http://www.feedburner.com to make your RSS feed more viral
- The more frequent you can post the better, but quality content matters the most even if you only have something to say once every couple weeks
- Be concise, a post should be between a few sentences to a couple paragraphs in most cases
- For more tips on going viral with your cause check out our online website training.
You can create blogs for free on the following sites.

how many people actually read the blogs?
blogs are usually just read by your immediate circle of friends. But if you cover a relative issue for long enough you can build credibility and get listed throughout other sites.

im 19 and i guess it started when i got into the 9th grade i was always alone and i had just found out that my dad killed himself when i was 3 years old. even when i was with a girl i felt alone and i didnt really know why. i started doing drugs and hurting myself to try and get rid of some of the other pain i was feeling. i still havent gotten any help. its really hard for me to talk to people. i want to die but its hard because everytime i want to i just end up beating myself up and crying. i dont know whats going to happen with my life and it really scares me. im having a lot of trouble in school too i just cant concentrate and i get really anxious i just want to run out. thats all i have to say i just needed to dump everything somewhere and say it to someone because my mom never pays attention to what i say.
hey, well i kind know how you feel. even though i haven't been through it as long as you have i know how you feel. i'm still a high school student and i'm going crazy with everything going on. i feel i never get sleep and i can't do anything right through out the day. i rather just die than go through the day. if you need someone to talk to i'm here. and i'll do the best i can't
if you wanna talk i am here,ill try to give you advice

I'm 18, I'm a teen mother, and totally agree. All I ever see in the media is related to sex. And unfortunatly you can't have a convorsation with people our age without the topic of sex being brought up. Sex, should be saved for marriage. I am using myself as an example to my friends, my peers, and strangers to help prevent teen pregnancy.
hey well be confident in yourself and know that there is something to live for. and yea when yur mom shows that she doesnt care, i know that it is going to hurt but you have other people that care for you. you have a lot a head of you and nobody should want to die. you will meet a lot of new people who will care about you and make you feel so much better. you need to be strong and set an example for others :]
I set up a blog called The Healthy Eater and it is helping. On I post tips and tricks for staying healthy.
Hey man, I just wanted to tell you that if you need someone to listen to you. I AM ALL EARS. (not only because I have big ones, but I would really like to help you get rid of all that feelings that you have, and since this is a website for projects... maybe you and me can start our own blog. There is lots of people out there (most of them teen agers) that feel the same way you do, and they would like to find help, or at least someone to talk to, someone that understands them.) by the way I'm 18 and a couple of years back I used to feel the same way you do now.
If you want to contact me do it by this site or at my e-mail. system_suck@hotmail.com
I totally think people should blog more about these things and make people more aware. I live with asthma and allergies every day, and i have to worry about a lot. i don't want others to have to go through the same things as people with even more severe diseases. if everyone spread the word about these things, someone will pick it up and do something about it!
Hey everyone! Do you battle with anxiety, depression, self-harm, or other insecurities? Then please check out my new blog at heyitspaige1127.tumblr.com! I try to post often and I have things from encouraging quotes, videos, pictures and an "Ask Me Anything" link where you can ask for advice or you can send in your personal story to put on my blog! I hope to encourage many who battle with the same things I do everyday! :)
