How to Start a Blog or Website
So you don't have any ideas where to startyour blog or website? Guess what neither did we. We were clueless as well. When we started a blog few years ago, we had no idea about how to start a blog. We could hardly spell the word HTML, then let alone build a website. But good news is that it's easier than you can imagine.
We've learned a lot during the years. And now we are providing you a chance to learn from our pain and suffering in order to circumvent the tedium involved in creating a successful blog or website. Here's we will explain how you can create a website or blog in simple and easy to understand words.
Domain and Hosting
The first thing we had to do was to go to InMotion Hosting and register our domain with them. We didn't need to set up a WordPress page. InMotion does that for you. InMotion's price is less than $6 a month, which usually works for 99% of people. Then, we did simple and easy install of WordPress through InMotion and when we had some questions we had the option to chat with the live chat folks available at InMotion for free help; they pointed us towards the right direction and made the blog set-up very easy.
Theme
A good theme helps in providing the look and feel you want for your own blog, allowing to design your blog in the way you want it to look. If you are not a coder then a theme will help make the design work a lot easier.
Tinkering
Once we had our domain, WordPress, hosting and theme in place we spent some time tweaking the theme in order to get the look and feel we required thus making our vision a reality. Then we spent some more time tweaking the theme and thus arguing about it and tweaking more.
Plugins
We used only a few plugins on our site like Google Analytics for WordPress and simple Facebook and Twitter share-button plugins since many human beings are intrinsically wired to share the value, it is important to make your posts very easy to share with other people. It takes just a few seconds literally a few seconds; it is just few clicks of a button to install once your site is set up.
Content
Lastly through WordPress we started writing and uploading content for our pages like About Page, Start Here Page, Contact Page, Events Page, Books Page, Archives Page and many more. Next, we designed logo using some free images we found online and text through a regular word-processing program.
