How To Start A Blog WordPress

How To Start A Blog WordPress So you want to start a blog but don’t know where to begin, right? Guess what? Neither did we! We decided to start a blog before we became “The Minimalists” to share our thoughts and convey our feelings, but we were frustrated by the choices.

We had no idea how to start a blog or how to be a blogger because we were clueless, overwhelmed, and befuddled with options.

When can we get started? How do we go about getting a domain name? What is hosting? Which blogging platform can we use? How do we pick a blog theme? What is a plugin? What do we talk about? We couldn’t even spell HTML, let alone create a blog!

Select a domain name.

Your domain name is an integral part of your site because it serves as the name of your blog. Your domain, also known as your URL, is your web address. For eg, www.cromosoft.in is our domain name.

But what’s your blog calling? Maybe YourName.com is this.  created a clever brand name.

If you’re having trouble coming up with a decent domain name, consider Wordoid, a fantastic naming method that will provide you with a plethora of excellent choices. Only make sure you don’t buy the domain from them so Bluehost will gift you one for free.

(If you already have a domain, that’s fine; Bluehost will make it simple to migrate your current domain during the configuration process.)

Configure blog hosting

After you’ve decided on a domain name, you’ll need to set up blog hosting. Though WordPress itself is free (see Step 2 below), you would need a dependable hosting provider for your WordPress blog (your blog needs to be on a server somewhere on the Internet).

Bluehost is what we use. We personally host The Minimalists with Bluehost. You should be willing to use a company’s product if you recommend it. We also use them to host a number of our other websites.

Excellent customer service. Bluehost’s consumer support is entirely located in the United States.

With typical hold periods of less than 30 seconds and 100 percent in-house, on-site employees in their Texas offices, you can be confident that the individual assisting you with the site knows what they’re doing. In other words, if you have any questions, they can answer them throughout the configuration process.

Excellent appeal. cromosoft.in is a Bluehost associate partner, which ensures that we earn a fee for recommending potential clients in addition to using their service. To be fair, we will continue to use Bluehost even if we weren’t an affiliate—we’ve been using them for a long time.

As a result, we don’t recommend Bluehost simply because we’re an affiliate (every hosting company has a similar affiliate program); we recommend Bluehost because they’re the cheapest, most dependable choice.

Furthermore, as a partner, Bluehost gives a 50% discount to The Minimalists readers: just $2.75 per month for the first year.

The Internet is a public domain. Bluehost will provide you with a free domain name when you sign up for hosting, allowing you to skip the upfront and annual costs involved with owning a domain on your own.

If you already own a domain name, don’t worry; you can still use it with Bluehost (it’s just one more step).

Dependability. Bluehost’s services are first-rate. They have their own 20,000-square-foot custom-built data center with enough backup generators to power a city.

my most friends use Bluehost hosting for their blogs

Begin your blog by installing WordPress.

Following that, you can install WordPress, which is completely free. But don’t be put off by the term “install.” It’s much simpler than it seems, and Bluehost does it for you.

Choose an easy theme to personalize your blog.

A theme encourages you to choose a style for your blog without requiring any coding or design experience. In other words, a good theme assists you in designing your blog precisely as you want it to appear. If you’re not a coder (and I’m not), a theme will make the design process a million times simpler.

BYLT, a website built by our good friends at SPYR, designed our blog. They have some lovely, basic WordPress themes to pick from, and you can even buy the same theme that we use if you like.

Simply go to BYLT and pick the minimalist WordPress style that best suits your aesthetic. Their themes are feature-rich; additionally, after you purchase your theme, you will be supported by the same team that we trust to support ours.
