Although I have received good feedback about my Blogging Made Simple eBook showing people how they can get their own free Blog I have started to receive requests from others wishing to learn how to set up their own WordPress Blog on their own webspace.
Using a free Blog is an excellent, low cost, introduction to Blogging which I would recommend to everyone starting out in the world of Blogging but it does have several limitations:
• You do not own the Blog so they can shut it down whenever, and for whatever, reason they like which could cause you major problems if you have had it running for a while and so made hundreds posts and built up good ranking in Google.
• The website URL addresses of free Blogs does not look very professional. It gives a much better image of your business to call your Blog www.BlogOfMyOwn.com rather than http://awordpressblogofmyown.blogspot.com
• You dont have the freedom to install any of the large number of plugins available for WordPress on your Blog
I have therefore listened to your requests and have started creating my eBook “A WordPress Blog Of My Own” which I intend to offer free to all my Blog visitors as a way of thanking you for stopping by and to help you set up your own self-hosted Blog. My illustrated, step by step, Guide will be packed with screenshots not only showing you how to get your own domain and install WordPress but also how to customise the appearence of your Blog and walk you through how to post messages on it and also how to leave comments on other people’s Blogs. As I said I will be offering it free to all my Blog visitors so if you would like to be informed when I have completed it simply sign up to my newsletter using the signup box on the right hand side of this page.
