Now lets go back to what we are really here for, blogging from your mobile phone

# What is blogging 

**Blogging** refers to writing, photography, and other media that is self-published online.

So basically you know what blogging is all about, its a way for a lot of people to express their feelings and share there ideas online.

## Blogging with jekyll 

your blog posts live in a directory called **\_posts** in the root of your site, so basically thats where you will add all your blog posts

Your blog file names begin with "year-month-date-your-title.md"   
so when creating your post, always follow the order **Year** - **month** - **date** - **title**.md

for a detailed on how to write blog posts on jekyll please refer to this jekyll guide below

### Publishing your first post 

The first step is to open your spck editor, [The editor you downloaded in the first part of this series](https://spruce.com.ng/blog/create-a-blog-on-your-mobile-phone.html), open it and navigate to your \_posts folder

   _Posts folder looks like this

Go ahead and delete the post found there and create another one with   
   
YEAR-MONTH-DAY-TITLE.md format
