4 Steps to Get Started Blogging in 10 Minutes!
This is just a quick cliffnotes version for committed bloggers only. These recommendations aren’t best suited for those dabbling with blogging, but they are the things that I would do if I had to do it all over again.1. Find a domain name
- Go to psychicwhois.com and search until you find a domain name that is available (green ones are open, red ones are taken).
- If possible aim for one that has at least of the keywords you would like to be found in the search engines for.
2. Get a domain name and web hosting package from Hostgator (my recommended host)
- Head over to Hostgator and select either the “Hatchling” or “Baby” plan.
- Then make sure to register the domain that you found in the first step.
- Next enter “ChristianPF” as a promo code and it will knock 25% off for you.
- Now follow the remaining steps to complete your purchase.
3. Install WordPress (with a little help)
- Either watch the video above for detailed instructions or just jump on the phone or use the chat box with Hostgator.
- When you get them on the line just tell them that you want to install WordPress on your blog.
- They should hold your hand and walk you through the process (if they don’t please email me). When complete ask them for the WordPress login information.
4. Login to WordPress
- Once they give you the login information you can go to http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin and login.
- Now that you are logged in to WordPress you can begin making changes to your site and or publish your first post.
