Football is the most popular game in the world and it is played nearly in all countries. Football is played on a field and two teams compete there. Football team is composed of 11 players: a goalkeeper, backs, half-backs and forwards. Each team has a captain who is usually the best player. During the match every team tries to score as many goals as they can. Players are allowed to use only legs during the game. Only the goalkeeper can use his hands to catch the ball. Despite being so popular today, football appeared hundreds years ago. It was played even by ancient people. However, football wasn’t famous until mid-1900s. The modern version of the game came from England and became the most favourite one. Today there are many football competitions and championships. Every year Europe houses FIFA Cup competitions and every four years – the World Cup. Football is also played in the Olympics. Anyway, football is loved by millions of people who watch games on TV, go to see them on stadiums and even play football with friends and peers during their leisure time. Moreover, there are such crazy fans that travel all over the world with their favourite teams and support them all the time. Manchester United, Liverpool, the Arsenal, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea and some others are considered to be the best and most famous clubs in the world.

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 you 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.
