How to Build Your Own Blog Website: A Beginner’s Guide (From My First-Hand Experience)

Hi everyone!

This is my first blog post, and I’m excited to share exactly how I built this blog website—step by step, for total beginners like I was just a few days ago.

If you’ve ever wanted to start a space to share your thoughts, hobbies, or learning journey (like I did with this “Learning in Public” blog), building a blog is easier than you might think. Here’s what I did:

  1. Choose a platform: I went with WordPress (it’s free, flexible, and perfect for new bloggers).
  2. Get a domain & hosting: I used a hosting service to get my unique web address (like “yourblogname.com”) and store my blog’s files.
  3. Install WordPress: My hosting provider had a one-click WordPress installer—super simple!
  4. Customize your blog: I picked a clean theme (WordPress has tons of free options) and set up basic settings (like my blog’s name).
  5. Hit “publish”: After uploading this post, my blog went live for the world to see!

Starting a blog isn’t about being “perfect” at first—it’s about sharing your voice. If you’re thinking of building a blog, don’t overthink it: just start small (like I did with this post!).

Have you started your own blog, or are you planning to? Let me know in the comments!
