A Writerly Advent Calendar - Window No. 9
This is a little different - not an actual, physical gift but something incredibly useful for a writer. Why not set up a blog for your writer friend? A Blogger blog can be set up for free. There are numerous templates to choose from, also free. Visit www.blogger.com Using wordpress.org or wordpress.com , you can set up a blog with the downloaded Wordpress software. Any expense comes in hosting the website, buying a domain name, and if you want to use a template (or in Wordpress-talk, a 'theme') that isn't free, although many of the free themes are perfectly workable. Again, you can set up a tumblr blog entirely free of charge. Tumblr is what they call a 'microblogging' platform. It suits blog posts that are smaller such as photographs, gifs, quotes etc. You can find more information here .
