Before I thought that the creation of my own blog is hard, because I don’t know the knowledge of IT. I don’t know how to write code and so on. In fact, it is possible to start blog for nothing by using a free service like WordPress or Blogger. You just only follow its instruction from step to step; you will possess one blog without paying domain name and hosting.Â
Now, I just realized that it is not hard to possess one blog, but what are my big obstacles are the way to create content and my poor language (English).
1. Creation of content: it is harder way for me to create content. Sometimes, I don’t know what I should write for the next post. In order to update my blog frequently, I have to find other sources such as newspapers, magazines, books, or conversation with my friends or other people. When I go anywhere I always keep my small digital camera in my pocket to take interesting picture for blogging. Now, one of my obstacles is to create quality of content.
2. Poor language: it is because English language is not my native language. It is also other obstacles of mine. I don’t know English well; and it is hard for me to write perfect articles. When I want to write articles related to something, I have to find other articles that have the similar meanings. It is easy for me to find its words (e.g. I want to write about education, I have to find some articles saying about education). Meanwhile, I always made more mistakes about structure, grammars, and vocabulary.
Do you think that what your obstacles for blogging are? Should you think about the quality of content and language?
hi vutha, I have been reading your blog for some time now. I like your stories as it gives me – a foreign reader an unique perspective – from the eyes of an cambodian person. I would say don’t worry too much about the English. As you write more, you will improve. Also, It is no problem for me to follow your writing. In the end it is the subject that matters and you pick interesting topics.
Vutha, here’s some Ideas, review other people’s blog, review Cambodian website, Give previous post a second chance by rewriting it, ask me for exchange post I post in your blog, you post in mine
I don’t have any idea now… some time some I deas you do not want people who know you know what you’re writing…
For example me: I cannot write too much about corruption as I work in a ministry.. the colleagues alwasy complaint me about criticize the gov.system too much… kekeke what about you?
Rai, in fact, more writing, more improving language.
Borin, it is ok if we exchange content for blogging. I wrote what i knew and share with all of you. I did not criticize someone and any institutions. and thanks for your giving me good idea. I know you are journalist, so you know more how to write. I will learn from you, OK?
it would be better if you try in khmer language. or you have ur friends help posting in ur website. like mine i have lots of friends to help me.
why i did not wrote in Khmer language because Khmer Unicode have not still used in general in each PC. that is problem to make some our people to be unable to read it.
That is good idea to find friends to help write content but I cannot find them to help me because friends of mine do not like writing something.
Nowadays, i have one guest blogger to help produce content for me, but now she is busy with her study and need time to concentrate on her exam.
