Setting up a blog
So you have a niche and you are ready to get started ! Here is what you will need to do:
1. Register your domain – Check and see if your domain is available. For instance if you want to blog about digital cameras, then think of a clever domain. Go to a service provider (we use blue host) and enter your domain name. Most likely your first choice will not be available. Be prepared to come up with an alternative. For this blog I originally wanted Bloghelp.com but it was not available, I settled for Blogger911.com.
2. Pick a hosting plan – When you register for a domain, you will most likely need a hosting plan. The hosting plan will host your blog. This is where you save your pages and information. It will depend on your blogging platform but usually a UNIX Host that can run WordPress is the best option.
3. Decide on your blogging platform or software – One of these most popular is WordPress. It is free software. I use WordPress and it is an easy program to maintain and use. Once you get started it will be like riding a bike.
4. Start blogging – Wait…technically after you install WordPress you will be able to start blogging. However, there are a couple of things that you should do like getting a word press theme, optimizing your blog, monetizing your blog, etc… Your word press theme is essential, it is the look and feel of your blog.
