Another one is Your Life Experiences, sharing your experience and Knowledge, creating Topics around it, and how it can help others in the same situation, for example, blogging about dealing with trouble moments, challenges in marriages, or disease.
You can also choose to blog personally… the personal blog is all about you which includes a variety of Topics like what you do on a daily bases, which are an excellent way of sharing ideas with the world.
Immediately after You have chosen your blog name the next is to select your hosting plan, this is a hosting company that stores all your blog files and runs it to the users when they type your address name anywhere on the internet.
One of the hosting plans I do recommend is Bluehost, Bluehost has ranked at the top for both uptime and loading times for more than a year, they offer strong security support and a money-back guarantee, and it’s also user-friendly with affordable rates. They both offer you Domain Name and hosting.
When choosing a domain name, you will have extensions to choose from, most popular are .com .net or .org…all works well, Examples: You can say Kyleblog.com or net, note in your name you can’t space any word.
If you are prompted with a notice of the not available name, continue changing your name or grab another Extension, instead of .com you can go for .net with the same name.
After this, you will be sent credentials which you will use to login to your Cpanel and set your site running.
2. Now publish your blog online
You need software to build your blog, the most popular software is called WordPress, which you will see in the Cpanel area, customizable, and easiest to use. note that there will be another option for you to choose here, but WordPress is most simple and easy to under understand
