How to Create a Blog With WordPress

Blogs are a kind of website.



The content is usually organized by date and category with the most recent post/content displaying first.

Blogs also have comments by default, but you can disable them quite easily if you use WordPress.





Setting Up a Blog
To create a self-hosted blog you need to register your own domain name (yoursite.com) and a web host.

Next, you simply install the WordPress script on your domain from the control panel and you're ready to go!



Looking for a free blog?

Even though a site like Blogger is free and makes setup a snap, you don't actually own the content or the site because it's hosted on Blogger's domain.

I never, ever recommend free hosted sites. I think they look cheap, lack professionalism and often times people don't take your site seriously.

Also, your site could be removed for any reason at any time because you don't technically own anything. You're renting the space like you would be renting an apartment.

Is this what you want for your future site or perhaps a business?

Also, it's easy for free sites to be taken away from you. If someone wants to sabotage you, they can report your site and get it taken down with little problem. It has happened to many people before.
