How to make a blog...

Get a free php/mysql host, then download wordpress 2.7 and upload it then install it. ^^
 
Do you want to make money off it, or just do it for fun and as a hobby?
 
Installing wordpress yourself isn't that hard really. If you really want to you could install it one click through fantastico but the downside to that is you won't get any support from wordpress.
 
If you want a simple blog use blogger.com

It is a Google site and google search promotes it for you. -D-

Looks really confusing.

But then again, I get confused by alot of things, such as why is that paper so shiny? I <3 Shiny things!

I don't know how I am keeping my 4.0 while taking classes and taking classes from high-school. (I am in JR. High.)
 
Blogs are simple, you just have to find something to write about that entices your members.
 
If you have never used a paid host then it will be a bit confusing and dificult (everyone forgot about adding a new database also -😉- for wordpress )

Im pretty sure it was in that video, and if not adding a database isnt hard. Theres a wizard that does it and everything -n-
 
Installing Wordpress has to be the easiest thing. Get yourself a free hosting account and try installing it yourself.

The best way to learn is doing it for yourself.

You might as well say installing a forum is easy aswell
 
Considering I can install a copy on phpBB3 in under 4min (I know because I made popcorn while I installed Blue Humor's copy) it cant be that hard -😉-
 
The fact of the matter is, it's eas for some and not easy for others.

For those of us who install database applications on a regular basis it would be easy to assume we think everyone knows how, but it's not.
When I first got into forums I even remember going to the phpBB Support forum asking for help just on how to install it, I still know adults who ask for help.

The instructions can be quite vague, for example in wordpress they don't put "localhost" into the "Host" box as default, so if you didn't have a clue what localhost was, you would have a hard time installing it. ~razz~

Im pretty sure they do in 2.7, I just installed a copy today and it was pre-filled.

Anyway, I do agree with that. I had to watch a video in order to install my first true install of phpBB. However, once I got that under my belt I was able to install anyother software that used a database easy as pie. I try to push people todo it once, because thats usually all it takes. It doesnt hurt to know how to, even if you host freely later.

You're wrong.

You can make money off a blogger blog. Simply slap your Google Ads on it. Heck, they've got an AdSense widget that you can use.
