3 Easy Steps to Make New Blog on WordPress

Step 1: Blog what you enjoy/know/Love

It’s time for a new blog for myself, and this one is really for myself. I’ve been cooking a lot lately and I’ve been wanting to keep track of the recipes I’ve changed. I enjoy doing blogs so I thought I would create a recipe blog for myself.

I’ll be blogging here about my steps for setting up this personal recipe blog.

I’ve done blogs in the past on subjects I thought would make money rather than what I really enjoyed. They didn’t make as much money as I thought and I did not enjoy it as much as my blogs where I was enjoying myself. And I make more money on my enjoyment blogs, not my reach for riches blogs.

Step 2: Use WordPress

The second step to starting a blog is choosing which blogging platform to use. I’ve already got this step covered for myself because I researched and even read several books on blogging a year or so ago. If you have not made up your mind trying to choose a blogging platform can make your head spin. I choose and am still pleased with the WordPress blogging platform. I like the flexibility it gives me to make a unique blog.

Step 3: Use the Theses Theme

The next step for me is having a way to control all that flexibility that WordPress uses. I’ve done coding before and know you can get into the guts of WordPress but I really don’t want to spend my time doing that. I searched, researched, tried and tested lots of WordPress themes. Themes are written so a non-coder can get to the flexibility of WordPress without having to do the coding. It is an interface with WordPress.

After lots of looking I found the Thesis Theme for WordPress. I’ve watched as this theme has matured into a fantastic interface for WordPress. In fact, I have not even used the latest release. I’ll be blogging about my experiences with the newest release here on this blog as I create my recipe blog.
