Social Networking Resources for New Bloggers
By Carla Chadwick
Do you feel just a little intimidated by the vast world of social networking? If so, you’re not alone. There’s a lot to know. Even if you’re quite familiar with your favorite networking sites, it would be difficult to be an expert on the rest of them — especially if you haven’t been blogging for long.
When I started blogging, I didn’t know any other bloggers. I had to learn the ropes all by myself. My approach was to study a few social networking sites at a time, so I wouldn’t become overwhelmed. It didn’t work! I was still overwhelmed. But in the process of sorting it all out, it occurred to me that other people might have the same learning curve issues. Since I have a tendency to learn best when I write things out, I scribbled down some notes to help me learn about social networking. I then expanded (and, I hope, improved) my original notes and turned them into the collection of resources below.
Although the following certainly aren’t the final word — not by a longshot — the components are geared to give information on various aspects of social networking. It’s my hope that they help shorten the time it takes for a new blogger to get from being green to going strong in the world of social networking.
SOCIAL NETWORKING RESOURCES
* Overview of some of the major social networking sites, a link to a larger list of sites and a glossary of social networking terms
* Samples of icons (avatars) that draw people in
* Free clip art and photography to help you create a compelling icon
* Beginner’s guide to keywords
I hope you find these resources helpful!
