How to Setup Your First Blog – A Simple Guide

Every now and again most of the bloggers have been asked, if it is really complicated to set up a blog and what steps are necessary for this. Therefore I want to give this little blog-article series starter a first practical overview explains step by step how you can set up your own blog.

How to Setup a Blog

In this article, I will describe what is necessary for setting up a blog, what considerations you should make in advance and what you have to make absolutely sure.

Simply Get Started

A first tip in advance: Even though it may sound complicated at first, blog-techie terms like “widgets” or “plug-ins” you might say nothing at all in the beginning and you’re not sure how to operate an update. Blogging is really quite simple when one has once set a little apart with the topic. And as with anything, “learning by doing” is the best way to quickly gain experience and to become a real blog pro in no time. But now to the first decisions you should make before you get started with your blog.

1- About Which Topics Should I Blog?

Of course, your blog does not strictly demarcated subject of which you can not deviate. But it’s my opinion nevertheless useful to think in advance about what you want to blog and what topics interest you.
You could for example make a short list, which topics you would like to write and whether you want to lead a more personal blog diary-style or a professional blog to a very specific topic.

Also, it is helpful to familiarize yourself thinking about whether you want to publish all photos or your own blog to be rather text-heavy. This list can help you later find the right blog platform and a suitable theme design for your blog.

2- Inspirations Collection

If you generally with the subject of blogging are not familiar, you can also look at other blogs to get an idea of ​​what can be done to you. If you like a blog, you’ll find there usually also Tips on other blogs with a similar topic. So you can look around you and let yourself be inspired by other bloggers a bit in the blogosphere. You can see what kind of articles to publish the bloggers, as the photos are taken and which topics are treated.

When food blogs (like post-punk Kitchen) it happened to me as again and again that I have a new blog to discover the other with great photos, recipes and ideas that inspire me very much and I would have never found. Many bloggers have also called a blogroll, which is a collection of links to other blogs that they recommend.

3- How to Make My Blog Hot?

To find a name of course is not easy, but maybe you should not make too many thoughts, but just start again with a name. Sure, you can also can again be inspired by other blogs to get ideas for blog names.

Before you decide on a name you should consider (ideally once by simply goggling for the term or the name), if the name is not already associated with a different theme. If you want to run a blog on your own domain, for example, instead of on WordPress.com, Tumblr or Blogger, you can also look ever check if your favorite domain name is still available (e.g. on the domain check at Host Europe or domain Factory). For many, the name is no longer the case and you have to find a compromise or an alternate name. You can choose to create an acronym or you come up with an art name as a domain name and an abbreviation of the actual blog title.

Actually, it is especially important that you like the long name and you feel comfortable with your blog name. It is also helpful if the name is not too long or complicated. So you do not have to constantly spell later and others can more easily remember your name your blog title.

    Beautiful Article..:)

    Especially with the name choice should perhaps choose something neutral, if you’re not yet sure what you want to deal with later in his blog. I made ​​the mistake in the past and made ​​very specific domains, so that the topics were very limited. Meanwhile, I passed with my new blogs to choose an open name so I “should” write what I really want.
