How to Create A Blog

How to create a blog is probably one of the most asked questions on the Internet these days. To start a blog really is very easy, despite the belief of wanna be bloggers who struggle with their blog setup. The quickest and best way to make a blog is to create a free blog with one of the many platforms readily available. The following are the most widely used blog platforms:

• WordPress
• Blogger
• Live Journal
• Weblog
• Xanga
• MSN Spaces
• Vox

Whichever blog platform you end up choosing when starting a blog, you will be guided along step by step as long as you read the onscreen information. To create a weblog (blog) will take you no longer than 10 minutes in most cases to set up. The blog setup is normally straight forward and doesn’t require any coding knowledge. This is only necessary once you want to start to personalize your blog. I get many emails where people ask me, how do I start a blog, how do I create my own blog, how do I start a weblog, how do I start my own blog or how do you set up a blog and my answer is always the same.

It depends on which blogging platform you are thinking of using. I could give you tutorials for each and every one of them, but this would really make this blog post endless and boring. Plus, many bloggers have already written articles on starting a blog. The best way however is to create a blog for free.

Whether you decide to create a business blog or create a blog with WordPress, you need to understand that as long as you use free blogging platforms you will be severely limited in blog design, setup, using additional tools and creating a truly personalized weblog.

If you read the instructions on the respective blog platform you will find all relevant information. WordPress is by far the most powerful blog software to startup with. You can create a blog for free in minutes. Then you just write a post and build on this. Just be aware that there are free WordPress blogs and self hosted which are totally different. If you intention is to make money online by starting a blog, then you should seriously consider getting a webhost and setting up WordPress. To create a blog on a self hosted domain, you will need to get the WordPress software from WordPress.org instead of WordPress.com (which is only for free blogs).

Should you still wonder how to create a blog right now, I suggest you visit one of the mentioned blogging platforms and choose an appropriate one to create a free blog. It is best to get comfortable with a free blogging software first and learn the ropes before paying for hosting and not knowing what to do.
