How to create a blog

Creating a blog just takes a few second right now. Bloggers emerge everyday. People like you and me can easily create new blogs thanks to the easy and completes free tools available on the internet.

What kind of blog do you want? Is it for just a personal page about you? Then a free and easy version will suit you like a glove in a hand. Blogger.com is free and hosted by Google. You can start here. Create a Google account. Gmail is one place where you can do that. After opening your account, create you first blog using Blogger simple steps. You can personalize it using Blogger templates and layouts. For more advance use you can download your own templates from Google or Yahoo. They have millions and available for FREE. Get some and upload them to Blogger. After that you must replace the template and maybe make a backup of the old one you you want to put it back again. Some templates are not free but avoid such templates right now!

If you want your own domain associated with your Blogger sub domain, you can get one at Godaddy.com. They are the cheapest and most reliables ones. Just 9.99$ per year! That's less than a dollar per month.

A blog for business is a serious one and you can discard all the FREE options you will find in your way. To make money you need to spend money too. First get you own domain at Godaddy.com. Just 9.99$ per year. Next you need professional hosting. Godaddy can host it for about 4.95$ per month. Its cheap compared to what you can earn with that. Now ask Godaddy to install WordPress for you on Godaddy Hosting Connection. You must go to "My Hosting Account" then you will see that option. click on it. Installing Word Press is fully automatic. They do it for you. It takes a day or a few hours to do so. You just need to wait. Now with Wordpress installed you have the best publishing tool in your hands. It all depends on what you do with it right now. The next thing you should do is installing a new template. Google has millions of sites to choose from. Now install some pluggins too. They enable some new cool features on Wordpress. Try them.

If you dont like wordpress you can use the alternative Typepad. However this version is not free and you have to pay, in my opinion, too much for what they offer.
