Wordpress has become the standard when it comes to creating and maintaining blogs. So, if you’re thinking of writing a blog it is highly recommended to go with Wordpress. Wordpress is incredibly user-friendly, requiring almost no previous familiarity with programming. You simply create and manage any type of blog with a series of drop-down boxes, tick boxes, and text boxes - brilliant.
To get started with Wordpress, first of all - you’ll want to find a web host that offers “one-click” Wordpress install. One-click Wordpress install is available from the host’s control panel and allows you to (as the name suggests) install Wordpress in one fluid movement. Most of the technical aspects are taken care of, allowing the user to hit the ground running and devote time to writing and aesthetics - rather than trying to create databases and other background technical issues.
Here is a list of hosts endorsed by Wordpress, with the one-click install feature:
Once you’ve signed up for your hosting plan, simply go to the control panel and choose the option to install Wordpress. To access your Wordpress dashboard, it can normally be found at [http://yourdomain/wp-admin], enter your username and password and you’re ready to begin. Start by adjusting the settings of your blog by clicking on “settings” in the top-right of the dashboard. Next you can begin writing and managing content with a very user-friendly interface.
If you’re looking for a less generic appearance and feel to your blog, try using a “theme” that is pre-designed and available for purchase. Here at GoodHost.org we like the Thesis theme - you can check it out by visiting the DIYThemes website.
