Starting your own Blog

In case you search for being included in modern internet trends and start your own blog, whatever your idea of content may be, I am going to help you make your decisions on how to start the whole process.

I would like to offer you basically 2 options:

Your own domain (possible Wordpress.org)
or
Blogger and Wordpress.com

If you choose to buy your own domain, you may either hard-code the whole website and its pages or use Wordpress.org blogging system which is surely much more user-friendly and you can adjust the blog to your liking without any knowledge of coding or programming.

Being the master of your own domain has its advantages, major one is the choice of your own name for the domain. This option is therefor for everyone, who is planning to develop any kind of brand, shop, business or organization and appear at least a bit dedicated to the cause.

Second option stands for signing up to one of the two services, useful and authentic tools for blogging, Blogger(Google) and Wordpress.com.

/ Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org are 2 separate services. Wordpress.org is uploaded to your own domain, Wordpress.com is online blogging interface for Wordpress domain. They both have separate reference sites and of course possibilities for the user. /

Not being the master of your own domain forces you to involve .blogger or .wordpress part in the name of your blog domain. These services allow you to easily create and add content to your website, choose and alter the templates and also add some advanced functionality to your site, i.e. widgets with statistics, comments etc.

Hope this will help you clarify some fundamentals and in the following articles, I am going to focus in more details on the relationship and differences between:
  • Blogger x Wordpress
  • Wordpress.org x Wordpress.com x Joomla

Feel free to write any comment, I will get back to you.
