5 Easy Steps to Start a Blog

There are a few simple steps that you will need to complete to start your blog:
1.   Choose your blogging platform
2.   Secure a domain name and get hosting in place with Bluehost
3.   Configure your blog
4.   Design your blog
5.   Start creating useful content that serves readers

Step 1: Choose a Blogging Platform

To start a blog you’ll need to select a blogging platform – or a tool that helps you to get your content up onto the web.

Step 2: Secure a Domain Name and Set Up Your Blog Hosting

I recommend using BlueHost for getting both your domain and hosting set up.

Step 3: Set Up Your Blog

If you’ve gone with Bluehost as your domain and hosting provider, installing WordPress is super simple. In fact Bluehost have created a simple video to show you exactly how to do it.

Step 4: Configure and Design Your Blog

If this is your first experience of WordPress you might be looking at the dashboard and wondering what you’ve done by installing it – it feels overwhelming doesn’t it!
Don’t worry – you’ll pick this up in no time and just need a good walk through!

Step 5: Start creating useful content that serves readers

OK – hopefully by now you’ve got your domain, hosting, have installed WordPress and have your theme installed. You have started a blog… but you’re not a blogger until you start creating some content for your blog!
I can’t really tell you what to write on your blog for your first post – because it is something that will vary a lot from blogger to blogger – but I’ll share some links below that might help give you some starting points.

What I can point you to is a couple of helpful videos from our friends at Bluehost again.
