how do i post my writings in the web?

Question

I would like to post my research findings in the web

Answer 1

I do the same thing. If you're willing to put money into your endeavor, that's always good. By getting a web site, you'll be taken more seriously.

You can create a Web Blog that runs off of your web site. Word Press is a really nice program that runs off your site because when you do a Search Function for all cases, it's restricted to your web site alone.

For Research Purposes, that makes it so much easier for finding previous Theories or ideas that you had. You don't have to sift through your Blogs to find where you said it. It will search and locate.

If you intend to get sponsorship or have Research Assistants helping you, your site will be your Online Research Facility. You can create E-mail accounts and what not. All the data will also be housed in one place.

You can go to free web sites but transferring all your information over is going to be a pain if you should ever upgrade to a free web site.

You're so much better off in the long run spending $50.00 for a registration and set-up fees and $10/month. That comes out to about $170.00/year.

If you feel your research is as valuable as you think it is, it's worth the investment.

If you don't want to pay anything and you just want it to be free, there are a number of web sites that will allow you to post.

If you're going to have Research Assistants that are going to help you with your work, I'd suggest Blogspot.com because it allows you to add people to your Research Team. You can create accounts running off of yours so they could have access.

If you're going to be a loner, you can use Live Journal. LIve Journal has been the most stable Blog Site I've seen thus far. If you want a free account and are fine with the ads placed on your pages, that'll work.

If you want to have ads removed you can pay something like $25/year, which boils down to $2.00/month. It's a really small fee. However, if you're willing to pay $25.00, we come back to why you should be getting a Research Web Site up and running for about $170.00/year.

If you use Live Journal, the one thing you can do is use the Semagic Blog Editor Software that works with Live Journal. If you're posting your Research on LJ, you can save a carbon copy of your Blog Text on your Hard Drive.

Then when the time comes that you are ready to start your own web site, you can just lift all the Blog Text from your hard drive and install it onto Word Press or whatever Blog Program running off of your site.

If you use any other Blog Sites, your information is going to be trapped on that Blog and you're going to have to manually extract the data creating more work for you.

Once again, we come back to why getting your own Research Web Site is better for you in the long run.

MySpace has it's own Blog Section, but it was created as an Afterthought. It doesn't have a very good Search Function. At least with Live Journal, you've got an Archive Section that will give you an overview of all your Journal Entries.

You can technically cheat by creating a Search Function based off of Key Words in the Title of each Blog Entry. The only thing though is that you'd have to sift through every month to find that key word and even then, there's no guarantee you'll find it.

I know because I kept a Research Blog for two years on LJ. If I had Word Press, it would make my life so much easier. In fact, I still have to go through extracting 18 months worth of Research.

I now have my own Research Web Site that is running off my page that I'm quite happy with:

If you're interested in setting up a web site, I can actually give you a discount if you register through me. Plus, I can help you set up your Research Web Site if you want since I've gone through the process already.

Answer 2

Create a web log (blog). If you post regularly and if the research writings have substance, then you might have regular visitors who'd keep tabs on it. You may add a stat counter as well to that blog so you know how may times it was viewed.

Answer 3

If it is something specific like a history research paper, search on the web for sites which accept research papers.

Answer 4

Use a free blog site.

Answer 5

Use a blog.
