How to start a blog!
I am so excited that you found this page! I will teach you all that you need to know
when starting out and to teach you exactly how you setup a blog
There are three things that you will need when starting out
1. Domain Name
You will need to have a domain name. What is that you might ask? It is what you
type in to get to a website, such as, www.travisgyoder.com
There are many names that you can choose from. It may take some time to come up
with a domain name that you would like. I suggest coming up with several ideas because
the domain name you would like to have might be taken already.
Always go with .com because people are so used to typing that in. If a .com isn’t available I would suggest that you type in the other ideas you had and see if a .com is available for that.
At the end of the page I will recommend a site where they offer this for FREE!
2. Hosting
You will need to get hosting. Hosting is something that you will need to have in order to start a website, or a blog. Hosting is the engine that attaches to your domain to power it to go out on the Internet. So in other words, this is something you will need in order to get your website up and running.
3. WordPress
When you have your domain name and hosting then you will need install WordPress that will allow you to edit your website and make it the way you want it to look. WordPress is free with most hosting companies and with the company that I recommend it is an easy one click install.
The company that I highly recommend is Bluehost. Bluehost is the company that I use for my website. They are used by many blogging and by small business owners all around the world.
Disclaimer: I will earn a small commission if you do sign up with them. This will have no affect on you and when you buy through the link you will get one FREE domain
4. Setting up your WordPress blog
Setting up your blog can seem dauting at first, but now it is easier than ever to make a blog. First thing you will need to do is to download WordPress onto your domain name. You do that by going to the install WordPress section in Bluehost.
After that is downloaded you will need to go in the backend of your website and down load a theme. Then download Elementor by clicking on plugins on the left side bar in the backend of your website. Then you will be able to us that to drag and drop content on your website.
