How to make a blog look great, work fine and make money for you, as a blogger? The answer is - quite easily! This is possible because of the veritable explosion of software and services that make publishing a great blog simple, fast and cheap. No longer does one have to wonder how to make a blog without technical skills or deep pockets. It really has turned online blogging into push-button publishing.

How much programming and technical skills do you need to blog?

If the reason you've been anxious about how to make a blog is your lack of technical skills, stop worrying any longer. Most weblog tools provide an easy-to-use publishing interface. Indeed, blogging software was designed to allow non-techies to publish professional quality weblogs.

With most blog software available today, all the author has to do to make a blog is create content. The mental barrier to webpage design and all the pain about how to make a blog that holds many back from building websites and blogs is almost completely destroyed when it comes to blogging.

It's "fall-off-a-log" easy! No longer do you have to hunt around in search of a specialist who'll show you how to make a blog. Installing blog software on your server requires some basic knowledge about scripts and FTP. But if you hate doing this stuff, there are several services that offer 'ready-to-go' blogs. All you have to do is register - and start blogging!

What are the blog programs/solutions available today?

How to make a blog without any programming knowledge? There are many commercial and free software (free not only as in 'free beer', but also as in freedom - you can change the source code if you want). They'll get you started blogging - fast and easy.

While deciding how to make a blog, the one choice you need to make is where the software runs and how you update your blog.

Remote hosted blogs: The software runs on a remote server. You log in to that server, then make your new entries and publish it to your server with the click of a button. There's also a free hosting option on their servers at blogspot.com

Desktop based: Radio Userland software runs on your desktop. You do the editing on your own system and Radio publishes it to your site.

Your server: Some blog scripts can be installed on your Web server. The editing and publishing all takes place on your server. You access the clean and simple user interface through a regular internet browser.

What are the benefits/disadvantages of remote hosted blogs?

Benefits: No problems or hassles related to installing software or scripts on your server and troubleshooting problems. You don't even need to know how to make a blog or have your own domain name or web hosting service if you plan to host the blog on the remote service itself.

Disadvantages: The remote hosting service might get taken down for maintenance or other issues at an inconvenient time. Or if traffic is very heavy on the service, you may face delays or periods of inaccessibility to your blog for updating it. This is more likely if you host it on a free service.

If you want to make a blog with more control and you're hosting your blog on your own domain, you have to disclose administrative details about your website (like your FTP account username and password) in order that your blog posts can be uploaded to your server.

What are the pros and cons of making a blog on your own server?

Benefits: More security. You don't have to give out your FTP details or password. Your blog's accessibility is dependent only on your server, not the remote hosting service's. That's important when it comes to learning how to make a blog.

Disadvantages: You need to have some basic knowledge about installing blogging software and scripts on your own server and troubleshooting problems. It requires some knowledge of changing directory access permissions, and other basic script installation techniques. Most of the blog software creators run helpful online forums and discussion groups to help out with problems.

So these are the primary issues to consider about how to make a blog that is attractive, appealing, runs smoothly and will make you a boatload of money. Blogging has become simple and easy. Go ahead and plan your blog. The other articles on this site will help you along the way.
