Candidates: How to get your own blog!
These days, many voters rely on the internet to get information about the candidates. Blogs (think ‘online diary’) have become commonplace for national candidates as well as voters because they are an easy way to share your opinions and ideas with others. Best of all, by enabling the public to ‘comment’ on your blog, you can encourage true public dialog and find out what your constituents are really thinking!
If you are a candidate and don’t have the resources to create and maintain a campaign website, think about starting a blog. You can get your own blog in seconds through websites like this one:
wordpress.com
or this one:
blogger.com
