Creating Your Blog: Installing Analytics

Once you’ve got your blog set up, you can choose from all sorts of fancy and not-so-fancy “widgets” and “plugins.” They add tools and features to your blog, like search boxes, archives, search engine optimization features, and ways to “ping” your posts to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Stumble Upon, and such.

Creating Your Blog: Purchase a Domain Name

You should purchase a domain name for your blog whether or not you plan on having a hosted blog. Should you convert from a free blog to a hosted one, you’ll need it. And if you begin with a hosted blog, obviously, you’ll need it. Purchase the same domain name as the title of your […]

Creating Your Blog: Hosted or Self-Hosted, That’s the Question

You’re ready to begin writing and publishing the contents of your book on the Internet. First, you must create a website where your book will “live.” Don’t worry. You don’t need an actual website.
