This
is important - so listen up!
You
need to either start a blog on a free blogging
site;
or
register
your own domain and load software onto it.
If
you are serious about blogging, you should register
your own domain. If you don't you could start
blogging on one of those free blogging sites
and if your blog gets popular, you will always
be stuck on someone else's domain.
This
is not good if you need to start advertising
on your blog to make some cash.
I
will give you an example.
You
could go to Wordpress.com
Wordpress
is an excellent platform to use for blogging.
However - there are 2 versions of Wordpress.
1.
Wordpress.com
and
2.
Wordpress.org.
The
.org version is the same software, but it is
for people who have registered their own domain.
That is, they have registered their own domain
and loaded the Wordpress software onto it.
The
.com version is hosted by Wordpress.com and
if you start a blog on Wordpress.com, it will
always be on there.
OK,
if you want to make some cash, register your
own domain and then use Wordpress for your blog.
This
is much better in the long term and also, if
you use Wordpress.com, you cannot monetize your
site - BUMMER !
How
To Start.
Go to Hostgator and register a domain. Hostgator
is highly recomended and very cheap.
Once
you have done all that, you will be able to
automatically load the Wordpress software onto
your domain. Then you can start blogging!
