It is not necessary that you know anything about the web design or hosting. Here is a process step by step for the creation of a Word Press blog. What you do with this blog, it is for you.

1 Go to wordpress.com and create a free account. You will be asked to choose a name for your blog. Choose something that works for you and easy to remember. Your name will be part of your blog address, so make sure that it is not too complicated. It will look like this: yourname.wordpress.com.

After you add tags and categories, you can go ahead and publish your post. Click on the link that says visit the Site to display your post after publish you.

5. When you view your site and your position, you will notice that your blog has the title that you chose when you signed, with a tag line if you have configured. You will also notice that it has a bland design. You will want to choose a better model to post your blog as the default model.

To change the design of your blog, go back to your Wordpress Dashboard. You can do this directly from your blog by typing/wp-admin after the address of the web. IE. yourname.WordPress.com/WP-admin. be sure to enter.

To do this, return the current list Widget. Given that you have added the, it should appear there. Click on the blue bar that says text. Enter your text in the text box and click on fact.
