Help needed related to blogging?

A friend of mine wants to start a blog, in order to gradually raise money for an organization working against Child Sexual Abuse. She has a really good idea about what she wants to blog about. But she's not sure if the idea is good enough to compell people to subscribe to her blog. I told her to give it a try, because she won't know otherwise. So she wrote a prospective first blog entry. We need your help to review it and tell us if you liked it or not. Will you be interested to subscribe to such a blog? Will others be interested? Is it a good idea? Will we be able to successfully raise money for a social cause? Please spare two minutes of your time to read the entry and provide us with feedback. Thank you so much! It means a lot to us! "I feel so elated and inspired! And I don’t even know why! I have a feeling it’s one of those days when you just want to do something crazy, for the heck of embracing life. I also have a feeling that the above said feeling is due to the current weather outside. The weather, as we speak, is currently 26°C, with a light drizzle, wind at 14km/hr and humidity at 57%. It’s July, goddamit! :D Local time- 19:48 (Indian Standard Time), Thursday, July 21st. When I woke up this morning, little did I know that I would actually be attempting to create my own blog, or whatever you want to call it. Doesn’t it seem so much easier to sit back and just read what everyone else blogs about? I mean, if you created your own blog, it would just be a FAIL, unless you got people to actually read it. And why would they read it, when they have a million other blogs to read and a million other things to do? But! I’m still going to take my chances. I’m going to teach you how to live! :D I mean, of course you know how to live. But I’m going to teach you how to seize the day! Carpe Diem! But why must I do this? I lived a pretty ordinary life, until one day when I woke up and decided that I’m going to seize every single moment of every single day, henceforth. Believe me, just thinking about it, made me feel a hell lot better about myself! My future didn’t seem quite so uncertain. I stopped worrying about the small troubles that we all encounter in life. And! I feel so incredible right now! I want to actually DO all the things on my “bucket list”, rather than just making a bucket list for the sake of it. I want to embrace life! Okay, I may have already pointed that out. :P But I don’t care! I feel happy! And I feel like it’s my duty to the world to spread this happiness! I’m going to go to London! :D I’m going to create my own blog…well, maybe! :D I’m going to walk up and talk to random people on the road and make them laugh! Woohoo! :D But first, I have to go have dinner. I’ll be back soon! Until then, seize the friggin’ day, y’all! Cheers!" Thank you!

1. Hi, very good cause, interesting writting, however you don't just need interesting content to get people to write and read a blog, you need a way to get people to know you website is there. That could be by word of mouth, handing out leaflets or o the internet ( seo ) seo can be expensive or you can learn how to do it manually such as posting articles on blogs and linking to your site, same on forums, places like here yahoo answers, facebook and twitter etc. My advice would be to set up the blog on wordpress and install an seo plug in that would help to promote it and do all over the above mentioned to advertise it. The good news is that because it's for charity, peoplw will be willing to give you a helping hand, jsut talk to people and ask them can they help, can they get the word out etc all the best
