I have been creating content here at Things to do in Salem for several years now and in that time I have gotten questions about the logistics of blogging and how to start a website. Today I finished putting together a resource for you, a collection of information for those of you interested in beginning your own blogging journey.

A few of the topics I cover include (but are not limited to):

• Picking a name
• Registering a domain name and hosting package
• Self hosting vs. using a free platform
• Setting up WordPress.org software
• General tips and information

I know this isn’t the type of content I normally create here, however I have gotten this question enough times that I wanted to put something together for it. For those of you who aren’t interested in blogging or content creation, not to worry, tomorrow we will be back to Salem, MA based content. 😛

Please keep in mind that this page is a reflection of my own opinions on the matter. There are many ways to go about launching a website or blog. So without further delay…click the image below to read all about starting a blog.

Do you need help launching your website or blog?

If the technical side of getting yourself up and running is overwhelming, I can help out with that too. Head over to alysenicole.com where I offer a basic WordPress.org set up to get you off the ground.
