The key to getting the most from free blog tools is being selective
As a blogger; you may be pointing gun to yourself considering the flexibility and the wide spread of tools. We humans have the habit of miss using or over expressing freedom, for the fact that you have thousand of free tools at your disposal doesn't mean you should use all in your blog.
Yes; there are many free tools on the market, but integrating all of them isn't necessary a good idea. While it may be
tempting to add a visitor counter, a flashy background,
an exciting new font, and a cluster of quirky
animated gifs to your blog, this kind of plan can easily
backfire.
However; It is also a great idea to learn about all the blogging tools available so that you can make an informed decision about what to add to your blog, but also try to remember that just because you can have something doesn't necessarily mean that you need it. You have to practice to restraint by only choosing the options you think will be useful to your blog.
If you can find out how many visitors are
reading your blog by checking your traffic statistics, a
visitor counter is likely to add unnecessary clutter to your
page. If your blog is text-based, a flashy background
can be more of a distraction than an benefit.
If your blog is text-based, a flashy background
can be more of a distraction than an benefit. Be
realistic about assessing what kinds of blog accessories
will help you realize your vision and improve
your site. Remember that even a blog tool that doesn't
cost you any cash may not be an asset in the long
run.
As a WordPress it is very easy install hundreds of plugin with just a click, but installing all those plugin may not be necessarily useful to you. You need to identify what your blog really need and then work base on those need, login to your blog and start to evaluate the tools and plugins, check if you really need them.
Another thing you must consider is using tools the right way, you have to know how to configure those tools, thus they work against you, may not function the right way or not even function at all.
As a beginner, you have to feel free to experiment so as to familiarize yourself with the process, but a time come when you will need to decide on what you need and not want.
Drop your fears and start your blog today, start blogging about your ideas and experience.
Thanks for reading! We're all guilty of over using online tools, maybe because of our curious nature to see how things work. But ,believe me, it always backfire on us. Your experience?
