Everything you ever write is automatically copyrighted, although there’s little protection unless you register your copyright, and even then, your content, if it’s any good, will get pirated. But that’s true whether you have a blog or anotherkind of website, or even if you publish only in print. (My academic book, “Anthropology at the Dawn of the Cold War”, is regularly available in a really nicely formatted PDF from torrent sites.)

Thanks for this, really informative

Can you tell me if there is any copyright for blog sites or is that just for actual websites? (i’m not very internet savvy!)

Want to start a blog to display my writing style as it will be up and running straight away, compared to website that will take longer

Thanks again

Local SEO question-is it required to involve the metropolis identify within your keywords and phrases?

I am having some troubles trying 2 load your blog. I’ve been read it many times before & never gotten something like this, but now when I try to load something it just takes a little while (3–15 minutes ) & then just stop. I’ve tried with www or not. Does anyone know what the trouble could be? Please ask your support at hoster..And, yes, thanks for your post!

Ty: One more thing — make sure you use keywords and, especially, alt tags on your photo posts, especially if you’re not posting text or are posting very little text. Otherwise, search engines will have nothing to index, and your site won’t rank very highly.

Ty: I think a good photographer can make a great blog posting images, although I think people are interested in the photographer’s process, what goes into an image, and so on. That said, there are plenty of interesting blogs that are primarily photos.

Do you think blogging just has to be about writing? Reason I ask is I want to start a photography blog, but I feel I am better at expressing myself with photos rather than write. Should I even start it? With your experience could it work, more pictures, less words?

Dustin, I really appreciate the feedback. I’ve thought about it in the terms you outline. However, it still seems like it would be a jump for me…

You make a very convincing argument.

Great site! I just found it this evening and will become a regular.

Wow, that came out long! I should have written a post instead.
