Blogging: How to Plan Your Blog Interested in starting a blog? Here are some tips that will help. By Nicholas Tan, Photographs by Brooke Cagle
Planning your blog can be difficult if you do not know what you want to talk about or have the necessary background in blogging. However, knowing what you want to blog about can easily come to you once you start browsing and poking around other blogs. You can pick ideas from those blogs, expound and make them the basis of your blog.
THE BLOGGING CATEGORIES TARGET MARKET
G
enerally, there are several types of blogs. Nevertheless, there are three popular categories of blogs, such as: the organizational, business and personal blogs. The first category, the organization, uses the power of blogs to communicate either externally with the public or internally within their organizations. This kind of blog has the purpose of facilitation internal communications amongst employees, colleagues and other organizational personnel. In addition, organizational blogs normally publish information that is of interest by the public. In a certain instance, there are organizational blogs that publish seminar schedules, meetings, and announcements for their clients, customers or members. The business blogs, on the other hand, are for promoting services or products offered by businesses in order to help increase profits, revenue and interest of potential consumers. These kinds of blogs can look for ways to increase their reputation and authority with vendors, customers and partners. They do this by publishing contents that express expertise and knowledge within a specific market portion, niche or industry. The personal blogs are those that contain contents that are more of a reflection of bloggers’ opinions and thoughts. Normally, they are used to publish articles that voice their points of view on several kinds and varieties of events and topics. Bloggers who publish personal contents usually find pleasure in documenting their everyday lives, stream of consciousness and even their hate to specific events through articles that reflects their moods.
Your target audience and blogging style comes hand in hand. The moment you think of creating your own blog, you must first realize what your target audience is; you must know what they want, need and desire to read about. The blog you create and the contents you publish must provide quality and value to the readers in order to be effective in establishing communication and expanding readership. More so, the kind of blog you want to create essentially creates its own target audience. For instance, an organizational blog is meant for those who are members or clients of a certain organization. Although the target audience may be limited, there is a good chance for consistency with regards to the dialogue you create with your readers and eventually more people would be interested in your blog. The mentioned personal blogs are not normally designed for social dialogue with a certain target readership of any category and is rather meant to serve as a collection of your musings. These kinds of blogs are best reserved to your close friends and they are your target audience. If you identify your target audience successfullyFeature Articles, your messages that you want everyone to know about will be effectively targeted. Some of the greatest joys of blogging come from the use of your enthusiasm in publishing signification information for a community where there is a free exchange of opinions between the readers and you. ď ş

R O F S TIP
Planning a
Healthy Diet By John Muriuki, Photograph By Elli O.
How to Choose a Healthy Diet Healthy eating begins with choosing a healthy diet. Choose healthy foods that you love eating, and ensure that your choices make up a balanced diet.
10 | ESQUE
A balanced diet consists of fruits and vegetables, vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates. Identifying foods that you love is very important because it helps you not to
give up on your healthy eating plan. If you choose foods that you don’t like, you will get bored and give up. So start with what you love and slowly learn new foods. Plan a daily timetable for breakfast, lunch and supper. This timetable will help you prepare in advance – the food preparations you need every day, and the time and money needed for acquiring and preparing your meal.
Ensure that you use fresh food every time you prepare your meals. Fresh food has much more nutrients than foods that have been preserved or processed.

H
ealthy eating is the foundation of a healthy and long life. People who eat healthy are strong, and are resistant to common illnesses like cold and cough. Eating healthy is not as difficult as what many people think. It all starts with planning your diet. Think about your current diet, and what can make it healthier.
Healthy Eating Habits You can develop healthy eating habits just like any other thing in life. No one is born with a healthy eating habit; these habits are developed and nurtured. It therefore takes energy and effort to become a healthy eater. Never think that food is something you can just pick at the store or on the roadside. If you want to be healthier, you must choose and conse-
quently eat a variety of balanced diet foods. Then nurture your eating habits gradually; Enjoy chewing your foods: Do not be in a hurry to swallow your food. Take time and feel the flavor of your food and its texture as well. Chew every bit of food that gets to your mouth. These will cause you to enjoy eating your food and also help you avoid mindless overeating.
Eat together with other people: This has both emotional and social benefit to your health. You will find it enjoyable when you eat while others are eating. This also encourages you to eat enough, especially when eating foods that you are not used to. ď ş
