Will you eat genetically colored Fruits and Vegetables?

Here are the facts; before the 17th century, almost all cultivated carrots were purple.The modern day orange carrot wasn’t cultivated until the late 16th century.
Today, scientist are working on developing fruits and vegetables with mixed colors and flavors. Can you imagine tomatoes that taste like lemon? Orange that tastee like pineapple or even sweet peppers? More at www.stepupwithme.com

Anyone can help me with little details of what is a forum site and a blog?
Re: 10 Things You Must Know And Have Before Creating A Blog by logadims: 4:48pm On Feb 06, 2016
Mediapace:
Have you ever been wanting to be a blogger,These are the things you need to know to be a successful blogger without stress:


1.You need social media accounts :
At least,you need an account for facebook and twitter if you did not have the other ones,you can easily share your topics to earn you much traffic and people around the world can also gain interest in your website
if you give them nice hyperlinks

2.You must be a very good writter :
Your writting skills must be adorable to be a blogger,If you don't know how to write good contents with correct english,i will encourage you to go and learn it or maybe your problem is that you hate writting,i will encourage you to gain some interest because Copy and paste don't work much again unlike before

3.You must have at least a personal email account and most preferably Google mail : An email account is one of the most essential tools to have and why google is most preferable is that you may need a blogger account,you may need google adsense in future,youtube e.t.c.
You users may also want to contact you through electronic mail

4.You must learn to always stay active and online :
You have to be online days and night if you are willing to be a blogger especially those in the aspect of entertainment & celebrities gists,any celeb can buy a new car or house at anytime lols

5.You need money :
If you had ever been told that blogging is free,false. YOU NEED MONEY!
These are Examples of things you need money for:

* Pay admins
*Buy New themes
*buy domain name
*host your website and lot more

6.You need to learn little on php,css e.t.c. codes :
If you employ a designer for your blog and you think you are free to go,you are absolutely wrong!
The person you employ may even sell your blog to another person without even knowing,if you don't know about php,you may not even be able to suggest new features for your blog



7.Be ready to take insults most time :
Don't think your viewers will credit your actions all day,most of the time you will be insulted and replying them with abusive words will not help,learn to be patient and tolerant

8.Learn to praise what other members work :
your may want your blog to have forum characters like guest posting,if so you must praise them for sparing their time creating topics for you with joyous words like you are the most helpful,keep it up,we apppreciate your efforts e.t.c.

9.Read about the history of the engine you want to use :
There are some blog creating engines that are not reputable and reliable,if you work with them,they may just chop your money and in a matter of days their website will be offline,try finding out the history advantages & disadvantages of the engine

webmasters add the remaining.

You may be mistaken,for instance, if you need an alternative counter,you will need to do so.
Those counter owners may even input an adcode into it that will display in it without your consent


I have set my own website myself.


Everything was done by me. Installed wordpress. Installed a theme. Customized the theme. No code. End

What do you mean by that?

Have not heard of customisation?

Yawn.


You customize your wordpress theme without codes. The colour scheme, the menus, etc


Premium wordpress themes have page builders and so no need for code.

AkumahTalk:
You don't need to have a site admin or pay anything to anyone to create and run your blog. Setting up your blog on content management systems like Wordpress is as easy as using Microsoft Word. You choose your hosting platform (ipage is good) and pay for a plan. If you're confused on what you want, you can chat with an ipage customer care agent that'll provide the necessary support to guide you. Plus its cheap as hell. I spent a total of about USD33.87 (about NGN6,000) before the Naira apocalypse. You also don't need coding skills at least for a basic design and layout. Only ensure that your blog design is clean and appealing (white space is good for readability). Remember its all about your content. Don't plagiarize or copy and paste. Originality is golden.

I started my blog on the 12th of Sept 2015. I use Wordpress as my CMS and ipage for hosting and I can't complain. It's been buttery smooth so far. My niche is on IT strategy development for SMEs (post on Mondays) and IT career advisory (post on Fridays). Check my signature for a link to my blog.

PS: I don't copy and paste, "never have, never will"

I think... You need to create Social Media account that would bear same name with the blog name. So you can share your content with your friends on the social media.

Stand to be corrected tho! wink

See this one. Technology has left you. I built 2 sites last year on wordpress.

And yes, I am not a developer. Any fool can design a wordpress blog.

The most downloaded premium blog theme is smartmag theme. It requires no coding to set up a world class blog.

Page builder works like a charm.
