 Learn Blogging Basics: How to Start a New Blog

Do you want to set up a blog but aren't sure where to start? Blogging is always a good option for sharing thoughts, hobbies, or even expertise with the world. More than that, it'll be a channel through which to get in touch with others who share your interests. If you are new to blogging, this guide will walk you through setting up a brand new blog in simple steps and plain English.

1. Select Your Blogging Topic

First of all, you must decide what you would want to blog about. The issue has to be something you are very passionate about or at least one in which you have a lot of knowledge. Here are some questions that can guide you to the choice of topic:

• What are some of your hobby interests?
• What are you good at or have experience in?

• What do people ask you for advice on most of all?

Suppose that you are into cooking; you could then do food blogging. If you're into keeping fit, then you could do healthy living blogging.

 2. Pick a Blog Name

The title of your blog should give a hint about the topic and be memorable, short, yet catchy. You can include your own name or something creative that is connected with it—like if you were doing a baking blog, then you might want to have "Bake with Joy" or "Sweet Treats Blog."

3. Choosing a Blogging Platform

A blogging platform is where you're going to be writing and publishing your posts. There are tons of choices, but here are some popular options:

WordPress: 

Has a free offering as well as a paid offering. Pretty user-friendly with quite a few features.

Blogger: 

It is a free service from Google and easy to set up.

Both of them are highly user-friendly, and both have templates to give your blog an expert look.

4. Get a Domain Name and Hosting (Optional)

A domain name is the address of your blog on the Internet. Kind of like www.yourblogname.com. While some platforms do offer free domains, having your own, something like yourblogname.wordpress.com in this case, does come off as more professional in nature. If you go with a custom domain, then you'll also need hosting—a service storing all the files of your blog online. This area includes such major shareholders as Bluehost, SiteGround, and HostGator for hosting services.

5 Design Your Blog

Pick a theme that best describes the nature of your blog. Most blogging platforms have free and paid-for themes. Go for something that is clean, easy to navigate, and mobile-friendly. Or better put, don't sweat it so much; most importantly, make sure it is simple yet attractive enough.

6. Creation of essential pages

Start by creating a few basic pages for your blog:

Home Page:

This is the primary page that your visitors will be taken to. It provides a brief overview of your blog.

About Page:

 A little about yourself, what your blog pertains to; this helps readers to connect with you.

Contact Page:

Add contact information so that readers can reach out to you, such as an email or a contact form.

7. Write Blog Posts

Now it's time to write your very first blog post! Here are some tips to get you started: - Pick a single topic:

•  Stick to one idea per post.
• Write in a friendly tone:
• Imagine you are talking to a friend.
• Use short paragraphs:
•  Make your posts an easy read.

Add images:

 Pictures can make your posts more interesting.

Include a call to action:

This could be something as simple as asking readers to like, share, or comment on your post.

8. Promote Your Blog 

Once you've got a few written and up, start spreading the word to the reading world. Share your posts across social media groups, forums, and online communities that are relevant to your niche. Engage with other bloggers, too. Share as much as you can; the more so, the more your blog will get discovered.

  9. Never Stop Learning and Improving

 Blogging is a continuous process of learning. As you gain experience, so shall you get better at writing, designing, and promoting your blog. Don't be scared to try out new stuff and see how it works best for you and your readers. 

10. Have Fun!

 Most importantly, though, have fun with your blog! It is a creativity channel and an intermittent—timeless—medium of self-expression while interlinking with others. Enjoy the journey and celebrate your progress along the way. Starting a blog may seem overwhelming at first, but by taking it one step at a time, you'll be up and running in no time. Happy blogging!
