help set up blog

[Cocoviolet]

Hi, I am looking for someone who can set up a blog for me, I have tumblr at the moment but looking to maybe move to wordpress. I have codes and plugins that I want to use but no idea how to do this.

Can you help, should be basic stuff if you know what you are doing. Can I get an approx costing too.

Thanks :)

Hi Cocoviolet,

have you considered a wordpress theme - I'm not too techy but I set my own up quite easily and if you go for wordpress you need hosting, most hosts will have plugins and themes that you can connect directly.

I use Bluehost.

Yes, I initially tried to set up a Wordpress.org account but now I realise I need a wordpress.com account in order to install plugins. I am really struggling with this! Did you set up a .org or .com account?

Thanks

.org - the best/easiest thing to do is to set up your hosting and buy your domain name, then to install Wordpress into it. Bluehost makes it really easy but I can't speak for other hosting companies as I haven't used them - I guess most consumer ones will be user friendly.

If you want Wordpress.com it doesn't need to be self hosted and should be as easy as just signing up - but this option isn't as flexible with plugins.

or she can built on Wordpress and than simply re-direct her own domain to it, its pretty straightforward
