What tools did I use to create this blog?
I have been asked what I used to make my blog twice now. They like the look and feel. Here is what I did to set up my blog. I asked my brother who is a computer geek to help me. He showed me how to do the following. It was a hard process for me to learn. Now that I have done it once, it is really pretty fast to change it all. All I can say is that the blogging world has a pretty high barrier to entry. I feel like I am being assimilated into a geek, checking my analytics several times a day, reading at least an hour of blogs each day. What has happened to me! I suppose it won’t be long before the world of the internet and the real world come together as one world.
-
I purchased a bluehost account so that I could have my own server (this is not necessary).
-
Then I signed up with WordPress.
-
Then I went to “presentation†to “themes†to the bottom of the page under get more themes “wordpress theme directory†to “themes.wordpress.net†to then I picked the theme “TerraFirma 1.0â€. OR You can access this theme directly by going to http://wpthemepark.com/themes/terrafirma/.
-
I downloaded the theme to my desktop.
-
Then I went into BlueHost and went to my “file manager†then to “public_html†to “wp-content†to “themes†to “upload file(s)â€. Then I uploaded my file.
-
After the file was uploaded, I clicked on it and went over to the right side of the screen and clicked “Extract File Contentsâ€.
-
Then you can go back to wordpress under presentation and you will see your new web template.
After that Neal went into the HTML and edited my photo and the H1 tags.
