Of course, blogging experience is a very much preferred skill if you’d like to thrive as a techie blogger. So start setting up your own blog today. If you’d like to start without spending a dime, you can easily setup a Blogger.com or a Wordpress.org blog for free and start blogging about techie stuff you love to talk or research about. Gizmodo.com is one excellent example of a technology blog.

After a few months of regularly updating your blog and making your readers at home by responding immediately when they chime in, it would be easy to make your blog serve as your resume’ when you start looking for blogging jobs.

Here are two tech blogging job openings if you already have your own techie blog to show off:
