Tips On How To Blog And Where To Start

Where to set up your blog

Blogger and WordPress are the two main blogging sites. Blogger is owned by Google and it's free and hosted on Blogspot. WordPress is an open source website and it's also free.

If you choose to go with Blogger, just go to blogger.com and set up an account for free. They host your site and you also have a lot of control in the design and look and feel of your blog. Blogger is owned by Google and hosted on Blogspot and your URL address will look like blogname.blogspot.com where "blogname" is whatever the name you choose for your blog.

If you choose to go with WordPress, there are two options using WordPress.com or WordPress.org.

WordPress.com is very similar to using blogger. You just go to WordPress.com to create an account and then you can start creating your blog. WordPress will host your site and your URL address will look like blogname.wordpress.com where "blogname" is whatever the name you choose for your blog.

If you're creating your blog for an online business, you should ideally have your blog on your own domain name which leads to the second option. With WordPress.org you will use your own domain and hosting with the WordPress platform. Your URL will look like blogname.com where "blogname" is whatever the name you choose for your blog.
