A diary on the Internet, or, to be more precise, a blog (from the English blog, weblog, - an online diary), has almost every tenth Internet user. Someone often writes, and his blog becomes along with the media, someone once a month hangs up a couple of photos, either for themselves or for a narrow circle of friends. In principle, it doesn't matter what your goals are, because in any case, having a personal blog will not be superfluous. There are quite a few blog hosting services, let's single out two fundamentally different options among them.
It is necessary
- - a computer
- - access to the Internet
Instructions
Step 1
One of the oldest and most well-known online diary services is the livejournal.com system, the notorious "LJ", which probably only the lazy hasn't heard of now.
Everything is simple here. We go to https://www.livejournal.com (or.ru), in the horizontal menu select the item "Create account". Next, we fill out a small form, come up with a login (more precisely, the username under which you will create posts and write comments, then email, password, some personal data and, finally, click the "Create an account" button. confirmation of registration will be sent by mail, after which you can go to the settings of your new magazine. In the settings you will need to come up with a name for the magazine, define its appearance (there is a large list of ready-made themes, choose any), fill in the information page about yourself, choose an avatar (here it is called a userpic) and … In general, that's it. Start filling the magazine, share your thoughts, add interesting magazines to your friends' feed, etc
Step 2
A fundamentally different way to create a blog on the Internet is to start it yourself, without using networks like livejournal or blogspot. This method is more likely to suit web enthusiasts who are able to buy a domain and order hosting. These steps are necessary, but you do not need to create a website. Most modern hosting companies offer the user a number of preinstalled CMS programs for free, among them Joomla and Wordpress are most common. That's what we need Wordpress. Go to the control panel of your hosting, go to the section with software (or CMS) and set the Wordpress engine as the main CMS (this is just one click, the installation takes a minute and runs automatically). Done. Go to the site, set the administrator login and password, choose a theme in Wordpress itself (there are thousands of free and very nice themes), install additional modules, remove unnecessary ones, in a word - make your blog the way you want. After that, you can start filling it. The advantage of this option is almost unlimited possibilities of expansion and individual customization, plus - you yourself are the owner of your blog, administrator and creator in one person.
