    Hello, I recently bought a PR2 domain from someone and did not know what to do with the domain, so I thought I may create a blog. I have no, not even a slight bit, of what a blog is entirely. I don't know how to create one either. So, how does it work for new guy? How do you create one? I am good at internet marketing, seo, etc. Just never done a blog. Thanks!

    1)Get a hosting with cpanel
    2)Login to your cpanel,install wordpress
    3)Login to wordpress and you're ready to go! :)

    p/s:sorry it's a bit simple.

    A blog is basicaly a very easy to use website in simple terms. Easy to use because once set it up you can make new post and pages in minutes. They also use Rss feeds wich search engines pick up and other sites show.

    You might want some othere add ons but a free word press blog on your own hosting is best way to start.

    The actual installation of a Wordpress blog on your own domain is very simple.

    Wordpress has instructions for a simple 5 minute installation.

    Take the advice ppl have given above. Or else you can use someone who can do the installation job for you. Just a day back I saw a thread in service section in which someone was offering a cheap WP installation service.
