If I had to explain in two sentences my thoughts on writing and blogging it would be - "I totally love it!!!" and "Why the heck am I not doing it?!". Pretty crazy right? It's interesting that it applies to many others.

Although I don't blog that much, I try to express my thoughts somehow, so devmag and Quora are the main places that satisfy my hunger for communication, sharing and writing. (There are several other places, but that is another story)

So, you want to start blogging? I have only one thing to say to you:

It takes courage to make the step. Questions like "Will they like my articles?", "Did I explained it well enough?" and "Am I the only one reading my blog?" will emerge from the deepest, darkest parts of your mind and will chase you till your death! Death I tell you!!! Well, I overreacted a bit, but you get my point. The same questions got in my mind when I wrote my first article on the Internet. Eventually all the fear I had disappeared. It was a matter of time.

All you need to know about blogging is perfectly explained by @Sandeep, but because I love lists, I will unashamedly add another one. Ok, here it goes:

• You are doing it already - every comment and conversation is a potential blog post, just in a different form. You are writing blog posts all over the internet...everyday.
• Read a lot! Reading will help you with your writing. The more you read, the better your writings will be.
• Make it a habit Write about everything. Write about that bug you faced yesterday, write about that new great thing about <insert your technology or framework here>, write a bit about yourself. You can even write about me! (but I think you have much better topics than this last one)
• Enjoy it! - this is probably the most important part of all. You will be surprised how contagious your enthusiasm can be.

P.S I should probably make this into an article.
