How to Set Up and Use a Surfbirds Blog

Sign Up

The first step is to pick a username. This will also be the name of the blog as it appears in the web address (eg /blog/yourusername). Sign Up Here

Make sure you register a valid email address as you cannot activate your blog without one.

Choose from over 20 templates for your blog!

Create your own "Friends" list. Register your "Interests" so that you can connect with others and link your blog with others of similar interests (eg photography, bird ringing/banding, twitching etc). Create your own "Profile" complete with a photo of yourself.

Can I Earn Revenue From My Surfbirds Blog?

Yes! Surfbirds does not charge any fee or take any commission for pay-per-click ads you post on your blogs. You get 100% of the revenue. We accept the two largest PPC ad systems (Google Adsense and Chitika). However, you must register from this page.


Guidelines and Rules

* Surfbirds blogs are friendly. Your blog cannot be used to slander or make personal attacks on other Surfbirds readers. Rude or inconsiderate behaviour is not tolerated and anyone who violates this rule will have their accounts permanently removed. This also applies to readers leaving comments on blogs.

* Your blog doesn't have to be just about birds or birding. We're sure our readers have many other interests they'd like to share.

* Update your blog as often or as little as you want. PLEASE NOTE: if your blog is idle for many months, Surfbirds reserves the right to close your blog down.

* You should not treat your blog as a permanent archive. Always have back-ups of your photos and text. If you are writing a long entry, you may want to write it in a text editor on your computer first and save it before publishing to your blog.

Are Surfbirds Blogs Free?

Yes! You can create, publish and host your blog all for free.
