It is very important to know the difference between Free Wordpress and Self Hosted (Paid) Wordpress before you start.Free Wordpress is limited, in comparison to Self Hosted extremely limited.That said it is just fine for a personal blog but anything else you should look at your options.
Getting started on Wordpress takes just a few minutes.
Let's go ! - First head over to Wordpress.com.
Get The Ball Rolling - Click the "Get started" button to start the sign up process.
3. Fill in your details.Email and password we are used to.The username is not really that important however the Blog Address is.
Picking Your Blog Address - The Blog address is going to be the URL for your new your, your blogs address on the Internet.Don't confuse this with the name of your blog you can choose and change that separately.You blog address will be whats called a sub-domain of WordPress.Com.For example www.myblog.wordpress.com.
It can be hard to get the address you want most as many have already been taken but I'm sure you will be able to compromise and find something great.
You Now Have A Live Blog - Your Blog Is now created you can set up the look and feel of the blog and start writing the all important first post !

ReplyDeleteI know some smaller personal or family blogs will get by on WordPress.Com but for most blogs I think you need the capeabilities of self hosted.Thanks for the comment Larry.
