how to start blogging today Step by Step
1) STARTING THE PROCESS
I will try my best to be as simple as I can with this process so that people will not be so challenged and want to give up. This can be somewhat intimidating but iF you follow the process, you will be alright. WordPress is the software medium I am recommending. You have a WordPress.com site and you have a WordPress.org site. My recommendation to you is the WP.org site because of the flexibility and freedom to be in control of your website as you cautiously move forward in the setting up of the process. As indicative of the Image Above, clearly, you want the WP.org (the black image). You control how you want your blog to look like and become futuristically.
2) SELECT A DOMAIN NAME AND GET HOSTING FOR IT
Clearly, my choice for your blog would be “you got it”, BlueHost.
Once you have your domain selected and registered you don’t have to be concerned with it being stolen from you moving forward. Here is where you register your domain name. Register it in the “New Domain” box and click “next”.
3) REGISTER THE DOMAIN NAME, HERE’S A SCREEN-SHOT
4) INPUT ALL YOUR INFORMATION HERE FOR BLUEHOST TO HAVE ON FILE FOR YOU.
5) FILL IN YOUR PACKAGE INFORMATION, SELECT WHATEVER PACKAGE YOU WOULD LIKE. 36 MONTHS WOULD BE THE BEST RATE BECAUSE IT’S THE CHEAPEST PER MONTH. However, most people may not go that way because BlueHost charges “Up-Front” for the whole amount. So if needed, select one of the other packages.
6) INPUT YOUR BILLING INFO., AGREE TO THE AGREEMENTS, THEN CLICK NEXT AND YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY TO COMPLETION. 7) NOW YOU WILL GET A CONGRATULATIONS MESSAGE AND WITH THIS MESSAGE, CREATE YOUR PASSWORD. 8) YOU WILL MANAGE YOUR PASSWORD HERE.
9) NOW THAT YOUR PASSWORD IS CREATED, LOGIN TO YOUR WP ACCOUNT.
Be sure you log into “Hosting” and not “Webmail” please.
10) HERE IS YOUR ACCOUNT DASHBOARD, BECOME VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS “PLEASE”. At the bottom screen click “Install Word Press” button, please.
11) On the WordPress Installation screen please click “install”.
12) Then click “Show advanced options”
13) Then give your site a name, and create a username and password for the WP Install. Make sure to check the box to “Automatically create a new database for this installation”, and check that you have read the terms and conditions, … 14) Finally, on the next page watch the little bar “Top Right” turn Green Fully, which confirms that you have installed WP correctly and successfully.

15) Oh one more thing to be aware of, check your email, you should have something from Mojo Marketplace. This email is important, so make sure to save it! It includes your website URL, your WordPress admin login URL, and your WordPress login username. THIS IS VITALLY OF IMPORTANCE! It should look like this.
16) From this email, click the Admin URL above. It will take you to the site below. Enter your username and password.
17) That will take you here to your WordPress Dashboard. Get to know it and you will enjoy it once it becomes “2nd nature” to you.
God bless you, in how to start blogging today Step by Step
