Its Pretty Easy Once You Learn How To Do ItThis is no lie and let me be one to tell you that you do not need to be a geek to know how to build your own blog from scratch.
Its simple and we will go through these steps quickly but easily.
Of course, you might want to do a few things mentioned in the steps too because they are crucial to your blogging future.
Building one is just the start but maintaining one is another.
Step 1: Choose The Right Platform First thing is to decide what kind of blogging platform you will need.
Either way blogging is just a kind of CMS website.
For the non-geeks it basically means a simple 'content management system' based website.
All it means is that I can run a website that is automatically managing my content for me without going for an Information Technology class! You need to choose a platform which you can use for the long term.
Step 2: Decide On The Right Template Or Skin If you've had a PC long enough you will know what is Winamp right? Maybe not, anyway a skin is like the visual presentation of your entire blog.
You do not need to know how to do one just make a preference on how your blog will look like.
Its easy if you have either blogspot or wordpress because those are the 2 main types people love to use.
Now, all you will need to do is download these templates.
Step 3: Getting It Setup Once you have made these decisions go to your local freelance websites that have a choice of programmers.
Put up a bid on installing and setting up a blog.
You can budget a bid for a project for about $30 - $120 its cheap because this is a relatively easy task.
I recommend that you get a hosting account for yourself to 'house' the content on your blog.
All in all, learning how to build your own blog is just the start of your blogging journey.
There are more complex things like marketing and how to maintain readership which you will have to learn but thats another topic.
