Blogging Basics
Blogging. Have you tried it? Was it harder than you thought? I have been blogging for awhile now and I wish I had known a few basics when I started. In this post, I will share some of my best tips.
Blogging Platforms
There are many blogging platforms out there. Forget about all of them except WordPress. WordPress is a free, easy to use platform. It can be easily adapted to do whatever you want it to do. Little apps called “plug-ins” make this very easy to use and to modify.
Here is a screenshot of a WordPress dashboard:
This is what I’m using to write this post. It doesn’t get much easier than this!
A Blogging Platform Needs a Host

WordPress has 2 versions, both of which are free. You can have your blog hosted by WordPress.com or you can get your blog hosted elsewhere. Hostgator is one host which I recommend. They are very reliable, affordable and strive for excellent customer support. You can actually install WordPress right from your Hostgator dashboard.
Blogging Made Easy
What if I told you that there is an even easier way to do this? What if you could have your blog already set up for you? What if all you had to do was log in and start blogging? Would you be interested?
They even give you training on how to get your internet marketing business up and running. And if you upgrade to the Inner Circle with the link below, you get access to the Ten Ten Formula Training. What is the Ten Ten Formula Training? Watch the video below that explains why the members of the Ten Ten Formula are so excited:
