How to Create a WordPress Blog?

So you want to set up a WordPress blog…

Congratulations! WordPress is a terrific platform for getting started with a blog, and we think blogs are fantastic!

You’re not alone, believe it or not. We decided to produce the most thorough guide on building a WordPress blog without any technical skills after assisting over 130,000+ users in creating a blog.

If you wish to start a blog, here’s a step-by-step tutorial:

• Register for web hosting (we recommend MyResellerHome.)
• Select a hosting plan.
• Choose a name for your blog’s domain.
• Complete the hosting registration process.
• WordPress must be installed.
• Create your first blog post after logging in.

Step 1: Acquire hosting and a domain name.

Two things are required to make your blog accessible to individuals all over the world:

Hosting is the motor that drives your website. While you may not be able to see it, every website on the Internet is powered by a host.

The domain is your blog’s permanent address. Ours, for example, is MyResellerhome.com.

You can get your hosting and domain at the same time, so don’t worry about the finer points right now. However, before you can do so, you must first select a WordPress host. Because of the popularity of WordPress, there are numerous WordPress hosts.

We personally tested the hosts’ performance and dependability. Following that evaluation, we recommend MyResellerHome to new WordPress blogs.

Step 2: Download and install the free WordPress software.

You will, predictably, need to install the WordPress software if you wish to establish a WordPress blog.

We understand that this may sound frightening, but we believe you’ll be surprised at how simple it is to install WordPress.

You should have received an email from MyResellerHome with instructions on how to log in to the cPanel/Plesk after completing the sign-up process in the previous stage.

Log in to cPanel by going to CPanel >> Manage cPAddons Site Software or CPanel >> Softaculous >> Select WordPress >> install Plesk >> website and domains >> Applications.

You’ll be able to enter all of the necessary information for your site’s name and the username/password you’ll use to manage your WordPress blog:

After you’ve completed the installation, navigate to yourdomain.com/wp-admin to view your new blog’s dashboard.

Step 3: Create your first blog article.

You’re undoubtedly eager to start writing now that you’ve learned how to set up a WordPress blog.

To create a blog post, follow these steps:

• Hover over Posts to see more information.
• Select Add New.
• This will activate the WordPress Editor, which allows you to write blog entries using a simple block system.
• To add text, simply click and type.

Step 4: Here’s how to customize the appearance of your blog.

One of the biggest advantages of starting a WordPress blog is having access to WordPress’s massive array of themes and plugins.

Here’s a quick rundown of the two:

• Themes alter the appearance of your blog.
• Plugins are programs that add functionality to your blog.

You have a theme active as soon as you start a WordPress blog. This might be the default WordPress theme or the theme you selected during the Setup Wizard.

However, there are thousands of WordPress themes available, so you are not confined to that narrow selection.

Where can you get WordPress themes for your blog?

When selecting a WordPress theme, you will have to choose between free and paid themes.

Installing a WordPress Theme

When you’ve chosen a theme you like, WordPress makes it simple to incorporate it into your site.

Here’s how it works:

• First, hover your mouse over appearance.
• Choose a Theme
• Select the Add New option.
• If you choose a free theme from WordPress.org, search for it by name and install it.
• If you bought a premium theme, click the Upload Theme button and browse to the ZIP file you should have received when you bought the theme.
• After installing your theme, make sure to activate it by clicking the Activate button.
• By heading to Appearance Tweak, you can further customize your WordPress theme.

Step 5: Here’s how to make your blog more functional.

While themes are primarily concerned with aesthetics, plugins are more concerned with assisting you in adding functionality to your site.

When you first set up a WordPress blog, your sole options are composing blog posts and creating pages.

Plugins enable you to add more complex capabilities such as:

• Forms of contact
• Icons for social media
• Create a backup
• SEO enhancements
• And a whole lot more

If you can imagine of a feature, chances are there’s a plugin for it. This is due to the fact that the WordPress community provides over 50,000 free plugins, in addition to thousands of premium plugins.

Where can you get WordPress plugins for your blog?

Plugins, like themes, are available in both free and premium versions.

Keeping the parallels rolling, the official WordPress.org plugin directory is the greatest location to hunt for free plugins.

For paid plugins, the best technique is to search Google for something like “best X plugin” and purchase from a well-known developer.

Installing WordPress Plugins

We’ve already provided a comprehensive guide on installing WordPress plugins. But here’s the gist of it:

• Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
• If you want to install a free plugin from WordPress.org, search for it by name and click the install now button.
• If you bought a premium plugin, click the Upload Plugin button and browse to the ZIP file you should have received when you bought the plugin.
• After installing the plugin, make sure to activate it.
• You may, of course, manage your existing plugins by navigating to the Plugins tab.

That’s all there is to it; your WordPress blog is now up and running.
