How to make a blog

Hey Guys, Are you interested in learning more about blogging or you are wondering how to make a blog and don't know how to start then this should help you to begin blogging. What is your current understanding of blogging? If you see blogging as a bunch of text and images that look similar to a website then you are near enough correct. A blog can be about anything such as a hobby or something that you follow or like to do such as sport. Blogging in the first stages is not going to make you a dime but its something good to learn. Everyone has to be a beginner at the start unfortunatly, I cannot wave my magic wand an turn you into a blogger over night, although I will try my best. Another thing I can do for you is help you when you get stuck or I can give you some advice that I have gathered myself and tell you what places not to look into and waste time over, I will cut a few corners for you but also you should do your own research aswell, that is what will make you a distinctive blogger, by learning from various sources and by adding your own edge to it. Ok lets cut the first corner by letting me stop talking and telling you how to get your first blog up and running.

Cut a long story short, there are 2 main options when it comes to blogging. Them options are that you have a blog online which is free to operate which you can do on blogger blosgpot account or you can do the same with a wordpress account. These options are free and great to begin blogging especially for beginners to learn the ropes.

When you become a more experienced blogger or web designer you may choose to have your own personal domain name and self hosted website. This is where you will have to pay but it is relatively cheap and will only cost you a few dollars to get a cheap hosting deal. Then once you become a super blogger you can invest in better hosting if needed.

So a quick recap you can have a payed personal website which is better in the long run if you are thinking of going all out , or if you need a website for your buisness. Then the free blogging options from blogger and wordpress which will include your chosen name but on a blogspot or wordpress domain name. Hope that makes sense.

I will be writing more on blogging and starting your blog for the first time, but in the meantime if you wish to experiment then head over to blogger or wordpress and start pressing some buttons :)
I do recommend newbies to have a go on blogger and see how blogs work and operate. Its pretty cool.

Have fun guys !!
