wordpress from the beginning

First thing’s first. In order to use a custom wordpress theme you need to have a domain. Wordpress.org has a list of hosting companies that support wordpress, there are more out there. I use 1and1, which I have been very happy with.

Your choice of a domain name is also important, if you know you want to write a blog about fitness, then try to think of something that incorporates words associated with fitness. If it’s a personal blog, think about using your name. You also don’t want it to be too long or complicated, because you want people to be able to remember it easily.

Sometimes it takes as long as 24 hours to register a new domain, but in the meantime, you can start researching blogs, and blog design. My next post will help you determine what kind of design is appropriate for your blog.
