Creating a blog site
What do I need to know about creating a blog site?
So you want to create a blog site? Great!
There are many options when looking to create a blog site. There are a number of free blog sites out there. Blogger and Blogsome are two of the more popular sites. You can set up an account and be up and running in 20 minutes or less.
Although this may be the easisest route to go when creating a blog site, it is not the best. The benefits of creating a blog site in this manner used to be the ease of use. It takes little to no knowledge to set up a blog on either of these sites, but with the introduction of Wordpress, you can have a better solution, still with no computer skills needed!
By using a Wordpress blog, you can have your own domain. This is important as sites on the internet start to migrate from free to paid. If you own your domain, you are in control. Set up a blog on one of the free blogging platforms, however, and you are at their mercy. Should they choose to move to a paid platform, or shut down all together, there is not much you can do. Your work and efforts are tied up with these third party corporations.
Also, by using your own domain name, you are building a piece of internet real estate. Websites are essentially virtual real estate, and they are becoming increasingly more valuable. Should you want to monetize your blog site at some point in the future, control of the domain will be important.
In addition, by using the Wordpress platform, you have access to thousands of free templates and tools. This gives you many options that are not available on the free platforms.
With all of the updates, it is a very simple process to create your own blog site. With no experience or programming skills, you can create a professional looking site in about the same time it takes to set up a free account with blogger or blogsome.
We have a free tutorial that will step you through the entire process, complete with screen shots and easy to understand directions, you can take a look at this easy how to guide on creating a blog for complete instructions on everything you need to know when creating a blog site.
Once you have the information needed, you are ready to start blogging, good luck, it's truly easiser than you may think!

- Thanks for the great info! I am a newbie and I was going to start up a business blog on one of the free blogging platforms that you mentioned but now I realize the power behind actually getting a blog (Wordpress) installed on it's own domain.
Can't wait for further content from you!

- Great Article! I have been using Wordpress for a while now. Wordpress really has taken advantage of the current popularity of blogging and has created a very user friendly way to start your own blog weather it be on your own domain or the one provided by Wordpress. I especially like how may free templates there are to make your blog look just the way you want it to. If you are interested in starting your own blog Wordpress really is a good option.
