- Start simple. Google's Blogging platform Blogger.com is one of the simplest platforms I've seen. Believe me I tried many including WordPress, Drupal (A nightmare for a newbie) and other platforms to no vain.
- If you have your own domain you can set it up to redirect traffic to Blogspot.com. This means, if you own domain aaa.com you could point aaa.com to your blog ccc.blopspot.com so when anyone enter aaa.com you will see your blog (the url will remain the same).
- Even better, you can point sub-domains to different blogs so bbb.aaa.com can point to xxx.blogspot.com while eee.aaa.com can point to yyy.blogspot.com. The limit are endless
- The next thing to do is find a decent template. Blogger have some existing templates but if you are serious, please find a better template. There are millions out there. Free and paid.
- Once you have the template uploaded and the blog configured, start posting something. I always get stuck here trying to tweak here and there making the perfect blog and ended up with no content. So my advice is go for it. Fill out the rest in time like the About page, Blogrolls and menus.
That's pretty much it. If anyone is interested to get a more detailed version, please comment and I will try to post more detailed instructions on how I created my blogs. For the seasoned bloggers out there, I may be doing so many things wrong in so many different levels so appreciate if you can provide some comments to improve the blog.
