CREATING YOUR OWN BLOG
Creating your own blog may seem intimidating at first. Where to start? But setting up you own blog can is actually a simple process.
The first thing that you will need is a domain name. A blog is just a website that you customize to tell about yourself and that has an interface that allows you to easily create posts without having to edit the entire website. Like all websites, users need a way to find you. That is your domain name. There are a number of good options for finding a domain name for your website. And a simply domain will likely only cost you a few dollars a year.
While there are a number of websites that you can use to purchase your domain, I suggest you think ahead about where you will actually host your blog. That way, you can get your domain name and host your new blog at the same place.
Finding the right web hosting service is probably the most important task when starting a blog. A web hosting company is where all of the files for your blog are kept. It is also the company that you use to design the look and feel of your blog.
For this blog, I use DreamHost. I have found the monthly hosting cost to be reason, the interface to be pretty straight-forward, and it uses WordPress as a free website builder. WordPress is commonly used for web design. Once you have used WordPress to design your website, you will see that many other websites use its basic framework.
