If your looking for an easy way to get your first website up and running, starting a WordPress blog could be just what you’re after. WordPress doesn’t require you have any knowledge of HTML, PHP, CSS or any tricky coding terminology. All you need is a domain name and hosting account to have full control of your very own website. To follow this seven step process does require a little knowledge of uploading files via FTP to your domain. If unsure, simply perform a search on Google and you’ll find all the information you need.
Register a domain name. If you want full control of your blog, registering a domain name and hosting it on your own server (hosting account) is essential. WordPress does provide a free option which is ok to play around with but if your serious about your blog, you want full control. You may decide later down the road, you want to include Google Adsense ads on your site. Without full control of your site, this can be a difficult task.
Install WordPress on your domain. When registering with a website hosting provider be sure they provide something called “Fantastico”. Fantastico allows you to easily install a blog on your domain name in seconds. No need to upload all the files via FTP to your domain. Simply click a few buttons within your hosting account Cpanel and you’re done.
