How to Get Started Blogging in 5 Minutes or Less

Written by Linda J Bruton


I put off starting a blog for a long time because I thought it would be hard. I thought it would be technical. I thought I'd have to install scripts and tear my hair out getting them to work. At that point, most of what I'd read about blogs and RSS was just so much geek-speak.

Was I ever wrong!

When I finally gotrepparttar courage to give it a go, I went to blogger.com and signed up for an account. To my amazement, I had a blog set up in about 5 minutes. My first post was uploaded to my site about 10 minutes later.

The only thing even remotely technical I was required to do was enterrepparttar 116412 FTP settings forrepparttar 116413 website my blog would be published on. But even that wasn't a requirement. With Blogger, you can set up a blog on their site, Blogspot, and not even worry about FTP settings.

Since then, I've started 3 Blogger blogs on different sites. Blogger remains one ofrepparttar 116414 most popular blog applications inrepparttar 116415 world simply because it is so simple to use and set up. If you're a technophobe or don't haverepparttar 116416 time to learn something completely new, I would urge you to drop by Blogger.com and take a look. You could be blogging - and enjoyingrepparttar 116417 benefits - almost immediately.

Another very simple blogging tool is Wordpress. This blog is my first Wordpress blog, and I'm very impressed with how powerful it is - as well as simple.

Wordpress is installed on your own website, but don't let that stop you. Most hosts that have Cpanel already have Wordpress ready for you to install. Look in your Cpanel forrepparttar 116418 Fantastico application, click it open, and then choose Wordpress to install. It will automatically install it on your site for you, and you can start blogging right away.
