Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.

Aarav Gajendra Raut

I am Aarav Raut from Amravati (Maharashtra) grew up in a print-rich environment right from the beginning, this was the reason that a trend towards reading and writing developed. My mother tongue is Marathi. Hindi is the second language, which I started listening to and studying in Delhi when My father transferred from Maharashtra to Delhi, I was only 6 years old at that time.

These pages of the diary are very special in this sense because it has been written by me since class 2nd. I am the youngest writer of Education Mirror an online education organization. When my two diaries were published, I was studying in the second grade. I write in Hindi, Marathi as well as English language. I enjoys travelling, reading books and working on new ideas.

At home, I always had the freedom to write my mind, I was never compelled to write a didactic. This was the reason that I soon learned to read and write.  In my childhood, I understood the technical things of writing. I remember when I was studying in class 1st  (Saint Maththews Public School, Paschim Vihar, Delhi) I started writing since then. First time I wrote on 5th April 2017 and since then I wrote on a variety of subjects and I preserved all the pages of my writing. During the journey of my writing, I was never interrupted over any mistake, my parents just wanted me to write without getting stuck in any grammar. The same thing encouraged me to write because I knew that the mother/father would not say anything if something went wrong. I writes a page or several pages about a topic with a lot of detail.

If the topics written by me are seen, then there is a lot of variety like –  animals fair, dream I saw, today, my favorite game, my holiday, mango, globe, my train journey from Badnera to Delhi, my first film at Delhi, badminton, first day of school, tree leaves, stones, maps, air conditioner, airport museum, use of walls, stones of seaside, my birthday, my home, pen, rakshabandhan, light, book, Independence Day, dahi handi, dharti, Just Chill Water and Fun Park-Delhi, ghost dream, funny school, diwali this time, fridge, my toys, science museum, iron magnet games, gardening, mobile, today’s school day, toy lamp, blanket, me, plastic egg, a bouncing ball, circus, ball and bat, bhool bhulaiya kee kitaab, cycling, thief  and police, books, my favorite fruit, why didn’t my rocket fly, birth of plant, Akshardham Temple of Delhi in my view, laptop, visit to bal bhavan, trip to shimla, zoo of Delhi, Story of Chokhi Dhani Sonipat, Educational Excursion Fun and Food Park-Nagpur, My unforgettable experience at the Anand Melava, Movies I watched etc, etc . 

मैं अमरावती (महाराष्ट्र) से आरव राउत हूं।  मै शुरू से ही एक प्रिंट-समृद्ध वातावरण में बड़ा हुआ, यही कारण था कि पढ़ने और लिखने की दिशा में मेरी  प्रवृत्ति विकसित हुई। मेरी मातृभाषा मराठी है। हिंदी दूसरी भाषा है, जिसे मैंने दिल्ली में सुनना और अध्ययन करना शुरू किया जब मेरे पिता महाराष्ट्र से दिल्ली स्थानांतरित हो गए,  मैं उस समय केवल 6 वर्ष का था।

डायरी के ये पृष्ठ इस अर्थ में बहुत खास हैं क्योंकि यह मेरे द्वारा कक्षा 2 से ही लिखें  गए  है। मैं एजुकेशन मिरर का सबसे छोटा लेखक हूं जो एक ऑनलाइन शिक्षा संगठन है। जब मेरी दो डायरियाँ प्रकाशित हुईं, तो मैं दूसरी कक्षा में पढ़ रहा था। मैं हिंदी, मराठी के साथ ही अंग्रेजी भाषा में भी लिखता हूं। मुझे यात्रा करना, किताबें पढ़ना और नए विचारों पर काम करना पसंद है।

घर पर, मुझे हमेशा अपने मन की बात लिखने की आजादी थी, मैं कभी भी उपदेशक बातें  लिखने के लिए मजबूर नहीं था। यही कारण था कि मैंने जल्द ही पढ़ना और लिखना सीख लिया। बचपन में, मैंने लेखन की तकनीकी चीजों को समझा। मुझे याद है कि जब मैं कक्षा 1 (संत मैथ्यूज पब्लिक स्कूल, पश्चिम विहार, दिल्ली) में पढ़ रहा था, तब से मैंने लिखना शुरू किया। पहली बार मैंने 5 अप्रैल 2017 को लिखा था और तब से मैंने कई विषयों पर लिखा और मैंने अपने लेखन के सभी पृष्ठों को संजोकर रखा है। मेरे लेखन की यात्रा के दौरान, मुझे कभी भी किसी भी गलती के लिए बाधित नहीं किया गया था,  मेरे माता-पिता चाहते थे कि मैं किसी भी व्याकरण में फंसे  बिना लिखूं। इसी बात ने मुझे लिखने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया क्योंकि मुझे पता था कि अगर कुछ गलत हुआ तो माँ / पिता कुछ नहीं कहेंगे। मैं किसी विषय के बारे में बहुत विस्तार के साथ एक पृष्ठ या कई पृष्ठ लिखता हूं।अगर मेरे द्वारा लिखे गए विषयों को देखा जाए, तो बहुत विविधता है।
