How to create your own blog It doesn’t necessarily have to be hard … starting and maintaining your own blog. It can be quite easy. You don’t necessarily need any development or design skills. Here is an easy way to create your own blog site. Firstly there are a few popular FREE blogging tools out there. One of them is Wordpress. This is probably the most popular and easy to use, so it’s a good place to start. Secondly you need to find a host that supports your chosen Blog software to allow you to host your blog site online. There are a few important questions to ask your potential host.

Third task is to choose a theme for your blog site. Most basic blog software installations come with a default theme design. If you are not happy with the default option then you can generally choose a different theme either for free or at a cost to you. The fourth step is to start writing your blog! This is the fun part. Occasionally you may need help so make sure you have a look online to find some great Wordpress tutorials out. They give you great tips and ideas on what, how and when! Good luck and have fun blogging!

Do you install Wordpress? And do you support Wordpress if there is a problem with the blog that is not hosting related? It’s probably worth going that extra bit to find a host that will do this for you, it may cost you a bit more but will certainly give you piece of mind if something does go wrong.
