Blah, Blah, Blog

I have a little confession to make.

I don’t know the first thing about setting up a WordPress blog.

Oh sure, I know how to hit the “publish” button. I can even fiddle with the html code on the sidebars if I want to add a button or two.

But when it comes to actually getting the thing from a) buying a domain name to z) writing my first post…. uhh, no. When people find out I’m a blogger, they assume I’m technically skilled, but the truth is that I have to I hire that stuff out.

But Lynette Chandler knows!

And she just put together this really cool free .pdf called:  Blog Setup Checklist

Now, this isn’t a guide to *promoting* your blog if you already have one. It’s a step by step checklist that takes you from buying that cool domain name to writing and publishing your first posts. Stuff like putting the actual WordPress file on your hosting space, and installing the plugins that make WordPress so awesome to use.

Would that be helpful?

You can get it, again for free, here:  Blog Setup Checklist

When you download the .pdf, I strongly encourage you to visit TechBasedTraining (links in the document) while you’re at it. They have some awesome training to help Virtual Assistants (or really any marketer) expand their skills into the tech arena.

In fact I’m fairly certain that I can do most of the stuff described here in the checklist. I just bought a domain name for my 9 year old son who wants to start blogging. I’ll let you know how I do!
