Blogger Beginner on the loose

Gee when i first started on Blogger i didn't really understand how hard it was going to be to find an audience or navigate myself around it. But i should have known nothing comes easy. So i searched for tips and did as followed and still find myself at a stand still. Of course i could have done the easiest option of adding my close family and friends, like a facebook page. But i probably would have had comments such as " wow your so awesome i loved your last blog", or "I am so sharing this with everyone i know because its the best blog ever" and never knowing if it was simply lies or false support. And what a great load of help that would do until the cold truth comes crushing whatever happiness i hold dear. But i refuse to stop here at a stand still and except the challenge. I have always enjoyed writing since i was a child and look forward to making this step towards a new beginning. So any support out there would be much appreciated. Therefore "How to blog" dummy book would probably come in handy. I take this challenge like a new pair of shoes because even though there a merciful bitch to wear in, after a while it gets that Little bit easier to get one foot in front of the other.
