The Struggle of Starting a Blog

This isn't beard stroking news or anything, I just wanted to say that starting a blog is so hard. Being really indecisive doesn't help either. I guess it's not hard, there's just so many options. 

First you have to pick a site to use. I'm no expert, at anything really, but if you're thinking of starting one, these are the sites I considered:

  1. SETT.com This one was very cool but I didn't choose it because I felt like it limited my creativity and that was a deal breaker for me
  2. blog.com This one didn't let me sign up... 
  3. svbtle.com This one was cool, but it looked to clean cut for me, again I want my blog to represent me
  4. And this one of course. It is easy to use and allows me to be as creative as I want.
I thought it was hard to pick a website because I wanted to find something perfect for me. 

After that you have to think of a name for it. This was really hard for me because I don't have a set topic. I went through about 35-45 ideas and picked one just to find out that the domain was already taken. I really like the name 'Beard Stroking Thoughts' though so I'm not too upset about the other one. 

Designing the blog took forever. I'm still not done yet. There's a ton of ways to design on this site which I like but because I'm indecisive it took awhile. 

So basically there's a lot more to consider when starting a blog than I thought there was. I'm glad I did this though because I've been wanting to for awhile. I hope you guys enjoy it if you read it!
