Recently I wanted to to see how hard it is to build a new site about jokes. Why jokes? I think “jokes” is one of the best web 2.0 topics you can think about. Almost everyone knows one or two jokes, so anybody can contribute! The first thing I did was to get a good domain name – I chose www.gute-witze.at which means good jokes in german. Pretty neat name, isn’t it?

I chose Wordpress as my site plattform because it is easy to install and it is easy to work with. Five minutes later I had my jokes blog up and running.

Next thing was to start getting some content…as it is all about jokes I just wrote a few posts with random jokes that came to my mind. One of the benefits of choosing a blog plattform for the site is that for every post you can choose a category and you do not have any work with getting a category structure for your jokes afterwards. You can even put a joke in multiple categories – Wordpress handles it all. Now it seems that Chuck Norris jokes are quite popular in german speaking countries at the moment, so after a while I started getting hits in the Chuck Norris Witze category.

What else did I do – I posted some comment on do follow blog, which I found over here: Find Do Follow Blogs

That was more or less what I did – now I am waiting for the results…
