Make a Blog in 3 Simple Steps (Updated 2019)
Before I started this blog (not too long ago), I Googled how to do the very thing I'm about to show you how to do. I came across a lot of articles and tutorials that were helpful, but they were also filled with additional advice that seemed to be geared for those that wanted to make a living off of blogging or share their story with the world. Even though they were all valid steps, I felt more intimidated than reassured to start a blog. Whatever your reasons are for wanting to start a blog (see mine here), I'll show you how to create your own blog in 3 simple steps.
Keep in mind there are hundreds of options for picking a blogging platform, but I went with Blogger because it's free and can pretty much do everything you need to start blogging. You can always change platforms later on as your blog develops and your needs change.
1. Create an account. Blogger is a service provided by Google, so if you already have a Gmail account, you're all set. If you don't have a Gmail account, go ahead and create one here.
2. Create your blog. Goto: https://www.blogger.com/go/createyourblog and provide details for your new blog.
3. Publish a post. Technically my job is done once you finish step two, but is a blog really a blog if it doesn't have anything on it that someone has toiled over and painstakingly put together?
I know this tutorial didn't go too in-depth into all the blogging platform options and all their pros and cons associated with them, but the takeaway here is to keep it simple and to start blogging. Just follow those 3 steps and get your blog started. The perfect blog title will come later even if you can't think of one now. The theme you picked might not be the best, but you'll find the right one sooner or later.
