Starting a blog is actually a lot simpler than what you're probably thinking. This doesn't have to be some well polished highly viewed monetization machine. It's just a simple website where you can casually talk about whatever you want to talk about! It can be long, short, a list of small things, or just a quote. It should be how you talk with other people in your own life, or how you communicate with the outside world. It should be you on a page. Here's a few places you can make a blog that are RSS enabled:

RSS -

Also known as "really simple syndication", RSS has been around for decades. In short, it's a simple list of data that can be updated and can notify when a new post has been shared. This is great for blogs as you don't want to always manually check the blogs you're following. When you make your blog, you want to make sure it's RSS enabled. You also will want to get an RSS reader, as this will allow you to create a list of people to follow and let you read posts as they are published. These can vary from hosted web platforms where you might need to pay at some point to just free apps you can download. Would highly recommend trying a few and seeing which works best!

RSS is actually already familiar to you if you have ever subscribed to a newsletter. You put your email into someone’s website, and when they have updates, they send you emails to your inbox so you can stay in the loop. In the case of RSS, you have a dedicated app, called an RSS reader usually, and you can put in someone’s website into the app to subscribe. When they make a new post, just open your news reader app, and their posts will be retrieved and ready to read. Some reader apps even let you make folders and tags to organize blogs you are subscribed to, similar to how an email app lets you make folders to sort mail. Would highly recommend trying a few of the apps or services and seeing which works best!

Some of us are using both in tandem, and thanks to the pace of Blogs we don't find ourselves on social media as much as we used to be.
