Hi hummingbird,

Quote:
I would like to have a blog on Insurance experiences.Do you think I could do it as I do not work in the insurance field?I been wanting to jump right in but hesitate as I was not sure i had enough knowledge if the insurance business to do that.What do you think?


I think that is an excellent idea. We have all had experiences with insurance in some way or another.

A blog on some of the good ideas or even mistakes we've made in selecting and buying different types of insurance could possibly help someone else who is trying to make an insurance decision.

Many of us have had experiences, some good, some bad, with insurance claims and people need to know the process.

We have also had experiences with insurance agents and people need to know what to look for in a "good" insurance agent.

Your blog could be: http://insuranceexperiences.ampminsure.org

If you want it, just PM Lakemen and have it uploaded to the server.

Once you get the log in information, if you want my help, just PM me.

You can do it!!

Hi goodnatured,

Insurance certainly doesn't have to be traditional around here. Cool

I think a blog on "Pet Insurance" would be great!! Laughing

Get Lakemen to upload it and get started . . .

http://petinsurance.ampminsure.org

If I can help, just let me know. Rolling Eyes

It is really good to see that we have two more brand new blogs in the Insurance Community. Laughing

We can now spread the word about "Insurance Experiences" and "Pet Insurance".

We still need blogs about:
Auto Insurance
Home Insurance
Dental Insurance
Specialty Insurance
Insurance 101
Insurance Claims
Insurance Fraud
Insurance News
Insurance Agents
Insurance Law

I hope you understand that no one has to be an "Insurance Expert" to blog about insurance. Those of us who are experienced in insurance can certainly blog about the technical side, but the general public would probably like to hear about insurance from the "consumer" side of things.

Each new blog will help this Community grow and as the Community grows, so will our blogs grow! We're a team!! Very Happy

Hi hummingbird,

I've just looked at your new Insurance Exeriences Blog and looks like you are off to a fantastic start. Laughing

http://insuranceexperiences.ampminsure.org

About the blog themes,

I just thought it would be a good idea for everyone to start with the same "theme", but maybe that's not the right idea. Blogs are supposed to bring out our own personality, etc.

If you see a "theme" you like, PM Lakemen and see if he has the time to upload it. I have looked at several themes and some of them just don't work properly. Do you like the theme on my blogs? If so, Lakemen will probably have no problem in uploading that one, after all, it's his.

Please pay particular attention to the "Creating Blog Descriptions" and "Creating Blog Categories" -

http://blogging.ampminsure.org

We make money from the Google AdSense ads displayed on our blog pages, but please don't be too concerned about AdSense until you get at least 2 Blog Posts in 4 Blog Categories.

First of all, you need to Delete the "Uncategorized" Category.
1. Go to the "Manage Categories" section of "Admin"
2. Chose one of your "Categories" and make it the "Default" Category.
3. Delete "Uncategorized".

OK, you have made several "Categories" and have posted a "Title", but remember, you are talking to someone about these "Categories", so design your "Titles" so that they are interesting. Maybe something like -
"Choosing The Right Life Insurance", or "Is Your Home Insurance Enough?". The only content I can see is "Share Your Insurance Experiences", which is probably a good idea to entertain "Comments", but you must tell us something about these "Posts". Tell us what options or types of coverage were important to you in choosing your "Home Insurance" or How you dediced to buy or not to buy "Life Insurance On Your Kids".
The "Posts" can't be blank, so just use your imagination.
You are doing good work, but the blog needs some quality content. Laughing
