Small blogging can be a great way to get your voice out there and connect with others who share your interests. There are a few things you’ll need to set up in order to get started: a blog name, a domain name, and a hosting account.
Once you have those items set up, it’s time to start writing.
1. Choose a Blog Name
The first step is to choose a blog name. This is important because it will be the name people see when they go to your website or blogspot.
Try to find a name that is catchy and meaningful to you. Once you have picked a name, make sure you use it consistently on all of your social media platforms (including your blog’s website, Twitter and Instagram accounts).
2. Set Up Your Blog’s Domain Name and Hosting Account
The next step is to set up your blog’s domain name and hosting account. A domain name is the address (like blogspot.com) that people use to access your website. To get started, go to HostGator or Bluehost and sign up for a hosting account.
Once you have an account, enter your domain name into the hosting account’s “domain name” section. You’ll then be able to create a web page for your blog using the hosting account’s easy-to-use web page builder.
3. Install WordPress or another Blogging Platform
Once you have your domain name and hosting account set up, it’s time to install WordPress or another blogging platform on your computer (like Medium). WordPress is the most popular blogging platform and it’s free to download and use.
After you install WordPress, go ahead and create a new website using the WordPress website builder. Once you have created your website, enter in your domain name into the “domainname” field in WordPress’ settings page (under “Website”) and click “save.” You’re ready to start writing!.
