This document deals with methods and steps needed in setting up a blog; it does not discuss what to write about or how to choose your subject. There are two ways to setup your blog.  The first option is to use a free hosted blogging service and the second method is to buy your own domain name and host it with a paid web hosting company.  Each option has its advantages and disadvantages.  Here we are going to explore each option.

Free Hosted Blogging services
The advantage with free hosted blogs is that they are free and easy to setup.  You simply:

  1. Create your account
  2. Select an available name for your site
  3. Select a Theme (template)
  4. Start blogging

The disadvantage with free hosted blogs is that they are not as feature rich and have many restrictions in terms of design, look and functionality.  Another disadvantage with free hosted blogs is that your domain name always ends with an extension which is the name of the free hosted blog.  For instance if you use Blogger, your domain will end with “.blogspot.com”.   Thus, if you choose a name for your blog such as “greenliving”, your blog name at blogger would be http://www.greenliving.blogspot.com.

There are many free hosted blogging services and you can see a full list by searching Google for Free blogging services.  However, the two most popular free hosted blogs are:

  1. Blogger.com
  2. WordPress.com

Paid Hosting Service
There are many advantages in buy your own domain and hosting services.  The most important reason is professionalism.  When your domain ends with a proper extension such as “com, net, org”, your domain looks more professional.  If you are looking to run a professional business on the Internet, then you must pay to purchase your own domain.  Other important advantages, of buying a domain and a hosting service, is that you have much more flexibility and power in what you can accomplish with your layout as well as functionality.
