But I've no idea where to start. I have a theme, but which website should I use and do I just start writing or what?
How do you get people to read it?

I literally have no idea!

I started mine this morning!

I've gone with a .co.uk domain which I bought from 123reg (but lots of other places to get them) and then used Wordpress.com (the free one) to host - but I'm paying for the £30 a year rather than the free option.

Hey, sorry. I went away and managed to work it all out. Thank you chocolate for the wordpress recommendation.
I started my blog on Friday and already have over 2000 views and a feature on Selfish Mother so I'm really pleased Smile

Am I allowed to share it on MN? (it is miscarriage/babyloss related)

Really want to follow this, as it's something I've really wanted to do. If only as an online diary. I know some people make loads from it, but I doubt I could make a £ without investing in promotions, or annoying people to death posting look at my blog.

Those that do well with it, did you start it as a business idea or with intent to make money, or was it just something you dabbled with?

There's obviously lots of books, are they necessary?

I have started one it's going really well. I recommend you read blogging for dummies and WordPress for dummies.
It also is much more time consuming than I thought it would be.
