How Do I Start My Own Website

One of the easiest ways to start your own website totally free is to use a blogger service such as Wordpress or Blogger. Blogs have evolved into much more than their original concept of a Web log. Eventually shortened to blog, a web log was basically what the name states, a log of events or personal thoughts on the Web. Adding pictures, music, links and more all became part of a blog over time.

Blogs such sites as Blogger and Wordpress they are essentially CMS websites which are websites with content management systems. It is possible to join Wordpress, select a theme, change a few options and add a few free plugins along with an afternoon of typing in some content and uploading some pictures and there you have it… Instant FREE website! Wordpress is often used by web design companies as a full content management system on commercial websites. It is capable of much more than news with comments.

One of the only things you can not get totally free is a full domain name of your own. Wordpress is very cheap though if you want to point your domain name or purchase a domain name with them. This will give you a www.yourdomain.com and a fully functional CMS website for less than $20/year! With a little learning and reading you will be able to customize and even monetize your website. Adding and customizing themes or templates all possible.

Free website? Think blogging… Go to wordpress.com or blogger.com now and signup for a free account. You’ll be surprised at just how easy it is to have you own website up and running live for nothing but a few minutes of your time. There are other great websites that integrate into the blogger sites too. Flickr and Photobucket are free galleries that you can integrate into your blog/website and You Tube is a great way to embed video easily into any webpage.
