How to build a blog: 5 simple steps to start a blog

April 8, 2009

Once I’d decided on my blogging topic I had to learn how to build a blog the thought of which was really quite daunting. I actually found it quite difficult to know where to begin – I’d read so much about how to start a blog that I was almost at the point of information overload. But one thing was very clear – I needed to think of a name for my blog and make sure the appropriate domain name was available. Anyway another few days passed while I racked my brain for a name and then inspiration came from my partner who affectionately referred to me as a ‘laptop millionare’ and the rest is history. If you’re struggling to choose a domain name for your blog then read part 1 in my How To Build A Blog series: Choosing a domain name for your blog.
