09 Nov Blog Software: Where Do I Start?

There are many blogging platforms available…. WordPress is what we choose.  This short post gives you a couple of options to immediately start to blog the RIGHT way.

We think that starting a blog and sticking with it is a major challenge.  So choosing the blog platform should not be the issue!  In suggesting a blog platform to our clients, we definitely chose the positive attributes of WordPress. 

Why do we like it?

1. Easy to use
2. Supports a hosted version (means you can sign up for FREE) and an easy to install self-hosted version
3. Readily available templates for you to get the look and feel you like for less dollars

If you choose, you can get started today.  Go to www.wordpress.com and sign up to get your own hosted version.  This means that you don’t have to buy web hosting. 

THE WAY WE SUGGEST IS THIS: 

1. Go Hostgator.com … http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=johnsob7
2. Buy the Linux Web Hosting Package called BABY
3. If you have internet HTML experience, install the WordPress code base available at www.wordpress.org
4. If you don’t, use the fantastico software available with the hostgator package to install the software with 3-4 clicks
5. OR, contact us… .We will consult with you and help you install the software.

You will be blogging in no time!  Again, WordPress is a versatile, reliable, and dependable solution.  Check it out today!
