How to setup a self hosted blog

Ok I'm gonna be giving all this a go this weekend.….

I've decided blogger is a bit basic for my needs and its time to move on! I have my custom domain setup (which just means my own website with a unique name) and I'm ready to take the plunge and setup a blog the "proper" full on way!

Will let you know how I get on!

Blogging tutorial on Udemy

Hi all,

I have been watching this great little udemy course "How to create websites using Blogger" at the following link: https://www.udemy.com/howtocreatewebsitesusingblogger/

I've found it really useful so far, some of the stuff I knew already, but it's filling in some blanks for me and everything is very clearly explained - enjoying it so far!

Check it out and let me know if it's been helpful or if you have found something similar/better?

thanks

What's everyone else upto?

Hi,

So have you done your homework?

How much market research have you done into your blogging today? Do you have an effective routine for checking other blogs? ...you do read blogs right?

If you don't, or don't know what I'm talking about then check the link below.

This really helps to give some perspective on a routine which has helped a pro-blogger to up their game - and made me realise how I need to adapt my routine.

Let me know if you have a routine similar to this - or a different approach?

Enjoy! (link below)

thanks

Blog setup advice

Good morning,

Just thought I would share this link I read over breakfast, lots of thought provoking advice in here. Reading this made me realise I have an awful lot of work to do!

It discusses the importance of going out of your way to get your name out there, and working with other blogs or at the very least taking notes!

As I continue to set this one up I'm going to try and put some of these into practice...

When you've read it let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Cheers

JC
