Step 1: Get Started

Setting up your blog and getting it ready should take around 20 minutes. Once that’s complete, your blog will be online and ready for you to start blogging!

Before you dive in, there are two important steps you need to take:


Pick a Domain Name

Already have a domain registered? The domain name for this blog is BasicBlogging. Typing this domain into any web browser around the world will take you straight to the site.

Choosing a unique and descriptive blog name is key—it helps your audience instantly understand your blog’s purpose. You can also consider using your own name as your domain. If your name is already taken, try adding a middle name or initial for a unique touch.

Using your name as your domain can be a smart choice; it keeps others from registering it and lets you keep your own property.
