How to Create a Blog – Part 1
This site is filled with articles about how to create a blog. From the very basic “starting a blog from scratch” information, to developing “niche sites”, to getting your blog recognized by the search engines. We provide this information for free to everyone who just wants to get started in the blogosphere. My Newbie Blog has two sister sites, Blog Consulting and Blogs For Sale, where you can receive help for any blogging questions you have at very reasonable rates.
In this “How to Create a Blog” series of articles we are going to talk about how to make your blog one of those sites that people keep coming back to. Return visitors to your site are a key element in developing a successful blog. We will create a blog called “Current Events Online” to use for demonstration purposes.
We will assume that you know how to get a domain name and web host and be able to get your site to the generic Kubrik theme provided by WordPress.org. (If you need help with any of these things, read the articles on this site about “How to Start a Blog”).
Let’s get started. We are going to install a theme to help us begin to get noticed by the search engines. For this project we will be using a theme called Dateless Sniper by Courtney Tuttle. This theme is simple to use and is very good with the search engines. I think it is a good theme to use in the beginning of your blog. After you have your blog well developed and situated you can change the theme. The Dateless Sniper theme will allow for an easy transition to a different theme later on. In our next article we will discuss adding some plugins.
