Creating a Blog – Part 1: Setting Up

So you want to create a blog but you don’t know where to start. Well you can follow this guide on how to set up and create a successful blog. I will be posting the next parts over the few upcoming days, so make sure to subscribe to the RSS feed to stay updated.

Step 1 – Choosing a name:

It’s very important to choose a good name that is relative to what your blog is about. For example, you can’t have a blog called “Tech Blog” and then have content about gardening. The name of your blog makes a big difference and is usually the first thing a person is going to see when visiting your blog.

Step 2 – Choosing the right theme:

Choosing a good looking, eye catching theme is important. The theme must also be relative to your blog if possible. Also choose a good layout for the type of content you’re going to be posting, for example, don’t use a small theme to post photos. Make sure it’s the write size. Download free themes from WordPress.org.

Step 3 – Hosting:

If you don’t have hosting yet, then I would suggest 1and1. I host with them, and they have good service and low prices.
