I am a web developer wanting to share with other people how to create a blog if they own webhosting.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Webhost / web space
  • Some linux or unix knowledge
  • Patience
  • Some sort of computer or IT knowledge
  • Time

Step1
Buy Web Hosting from a large host or a small host, it doesn't matter who. Shared hosting is fine or you could have a reseller, VPS, or server.
Step2
Download Word Press or your favorite blog script. I prefer Word Press because it's easy to use and customize. The back end and front end is easy to log into and work with. It's easy to configure and change colors or the look of the site as well.
Step3
Install on your server or use an auto-installer. It would be easiest to follow my step by step video that I will post shortly.

Tips & Warnings

  • Don't forget to upgrade your Word Press installation when new versions come out
  • Update and add ads to create extra revenue
  • Write a new article everyday
  • Ad sections to your blog
  • Keep it organized! People like to read well written articles
  • Don't try to do this with no web or IT experience
  • Don't expect instant results
  • If you have no web experience or can't read or follow directions this isn't for you
