Good day everyone! I hope you're doing great.
Setting up a blogging website is what we wanna achieve sometimes but doesn't know how due lack of programming knowledge.
But today, I wanna assure you that after reading this article you won't worry much again about setting up a blogging website even if you're not tech-savvy.
Technology has advanced and everything digital is now made easy for us to use. If you're not tech-savvy or programming language proficient, using Content Management Systems like WordPress or Wix will be helpful to you.
What is WordPress?
Literally, WordPress can be defined as a content management system that can be used to create websites primarily without writing any code. All you need to do is just select a theme of your choice and modify it to your own need.
Four easy steps of setting up a blogging website
1. Get a domain name: Getting a domain name is a very first thing you have to do before creating a blog. There are some companies out there that handle the task for you. All you need to do is to buy the domain name from them and you're good to go. Note that you can get this domain name from hosting companies like Godaddy, Hostgator, Hostinger, e.t.c. I will recommend you buy the domain with extension names like ".com, .org, .net, .co, .io",... though it is based on the type of blog you're creating.
2. Get hosting: Hosting platforms are where your website lives. Your blogging has to be alive before people can access it through the internet. Hosting companies are dedicated to storing your contents on their servers because of their 24/7 electricity and a fast internet connection, meaning they're reliable.
3. Install WordPress: Now that you have hosted your website, the next thing to do is to install WordPress so that you can immediately begin your blog creation. Installing WordPress is totally free but the above two discussed are not free, i.e. they will cost you a little amount of money depending on the type of plan you're subscribing to.
4. Create your blog website: This is the last step you will undergo before publishing your website live. Creating a blog website is very easy, it just requires you to choose a template and modify it to your preference. WordPress has tons of themes you can choose from making it easy for you to make the right choice of theme. WordPress also has an admin dashboard where you can easily manage your blog without coding anything.
