17 April 2010 | Written by Baby Cherish

Are you trying to find the best way to share your baby’s story? Creating a Baby Blog may be the perfect option. If you don’t want your baby taking over the life of your Facebook profile, YouTube account, and other sharing sites, then you should create their own special place on the internet.

You can create your Baby Blog on free services like Google’s Blogger service or WordPress.com. Both of these sites offer fantastic blogging platforms which let you combine your stories, baby photos, and even video clips. The challenge is being stuck using their domain names. You cannot easily add your own domain name to make the blog completely unique and special.

For a very low price, usually under $10, you can buy a domain name for your baby blog. You will have one additional monthly cost for hosting your blog. This is usually just a few dollars per month, with many low cost hosting programs costing less than $10 per month, and some under $5 per month. You can then choose which type of blog you like to use, whether it is WordPress, Joomla, or one of the other quality blogging platforms. Your hosting company will be able to assist you with getting started.

Your next step to creating a baby blog is choosing from the hundreds of themes you can use for your blog. It will be very easy for you to find a blog theme with the perfect colors and personality to match the attitude of your tiny tiger or little princess. Once you have the theme setup the fun really begins. Then your baby blog is ready for you to start telling your stories.

You will be able to type up entries of what your baby has been doing, insert pictures, video clips, and even sounds. Your flexibility and control of your own blog is one of the best reasons to create a baby blog instead of just adding your baby items to your online profiles.

Most blogging platforms let you lock down the baby blog if you want to protect the stories, baby pictures, and baby videos. You only give access to the people you wish, and they must use their username and password to look at all of your content.

Whether you choose to go with your own domain name, or use a free service, creating a baby blog to share your baby’s life is great fun. You can create an ongoing story of your baby’s life, and continue it as they grow into a young child and beyond. Who knows, you many even be turning the blog over to your child to keep it updated when the are old enough to tell their own stories, and do their own updating. It will be a historical record of your child’s life. Your relatives and friends will have fun keeping up with your baby as they grow. The hardest part is just getting started, go ahead and take the leap today.
