I’ve been using blogs now in my web work for a year or more, WordPress is fantastically expandable using plugins and with a little tweaking of the code you can make a blog look just like a normal website. The advantage is it is absorbed by the search engines like a sponge cleaning up a spillage, blogs are incredible for this.

What hadn’t occurred to me was how far a blog can be pushed as an information broadcasting medium. I happend upon a website called Entrepreneurs-Journey.com owned by the well respected blog mastermind Yaro Starak, his blog and the information he presented in it opened my eyes wide! He blogs on the subject of entrepreneurship especially online / internet business and of course blogging. Yaro is an Aussie and I like Aussie’s I worked closely but remotely for a year or more with another Aussie marketeer Alan Stewart of the Marketers Podcast, so I like the way Australians think and operate their businesses. Yaro is one of the most straight forward, no-nonsense internet marketer I have ever come across, his willingness to present his knowledge to you is awesome.

You will be reading this post because you too are interested in blogging, so flick over to Yaro Starak’s site and absorb what he has to say because for some people it will be a life changing experience.

There are many ways to blog and many formats or engines to use, Blogging Rocket was set up to focus on just one of these engines, the best in our point of view: WordPress.

Blogging Rocket is aiming to become the number one place a blogger will turn to when they want advice or ‘How To’ information when they are blogging with WordPress. This whole site is built with WordPress and it is going to fill up with all manner of WP related things. There will be news and reviews, recommendations on the latest plugins, latest build updates, theme design and much much more.

Also of course, not wanting to jump the gun, there is going to be a full section of advice and recommendations on how to set up your blog. I will give you step by step guides on choosing your killer domain name, picking the best hosting provider, creating your databases and installing or upgrading your WP blog.

But who is Blogging Rocket?

Blogging Rocket is the brain child of Ian Blackford a web developer from Telford Shropshire in the UK. I’ve been designing websites now for almost ten years but only recently have I started using WordPress and its awesome power. I own my own web development and hosting company called Design Conscious .com but you will find out lots more about me in future posts.

While trying not to scare you – here I am in a recent publicity mug shot, just so you can put a face to the posts.
