Footing and foundation are known as selfsame. People are confused if there is an identical difference. However, there are few major differences between footing and foundation. They are discussed below.

Footing vs Foundation

Followings are the differences between Footing and Foundation:

	Footing	Foundation
1	The footing is a formation which is in contact with the ground.	Foundation is a structure which transfers its gravity loads to earth from superstructure.
2	Footing can be analogized with the feet of the leg.	Foundation can be compared with legs.
3	The footing is a type of shallow foundation.	Foundation can be shallow and deep.
4	Footing includes slab, rebar which are fabricated of brickwork, masonry or concrete.	Foundation types include piles, caissons, footings, piers, the lateral supports, and anchors.
5	Footing reinforces support to an individual column.	Foundation is an extensive support  because it gives support to a group of footings as an entire building
6	A number of footings repose on a foundation.	Foundation is the support that bears all kinds of loadings.
7	A footing is under the foundation wall.	Foundations are the basement walls.
8	Footing transmits loads directly to the soil.	Foundation is in direct contact with the soil and transmits it to the ground.
9	All footings are foundations.	Not all foundations are footings.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
