Note for beginners on the Internet: it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the basic technical concepts before reading this article.

It is important to get to know and use technical words when creating a blog because we will surely end up reading a lot about them and that way it will be easier to know what it is about, right?

What is a Blog and what are some of its Concepts?

A blog is a website where you find, among other things, a series of short or long articles, comments, links to other sites of interest, and/or photos or videos on a particular topic. These articles appear in reverse chronological order, that is, organized by publication date starting with the most recent.

Many people take advantage of creating a blog to express their opinions, tell and share their hobbies with others and also to sell products or services . Of course, there are many more reasons to create a blog but we have these to start with.

Blogs are made up of posts . This article you are reading now is a blog post . Each of the articles published on a blog are called posts . That is, the blog is the collection of all the articles or posts .

Important, BEFORE Opening a Blog:

• You must know how to navigate the Internet and be familiar with search engines (such as Google or Yahoo), know how to upload images to Facebook, Twitter or any of the other social networks. Instagram does not count because you upload it from your cell phone, and what you need to create a blog and maintain it is to upload photos like you do on the social networks that I mentioned.
• Make sure you have an email account too! Any platform where you can create a blog will ask you to enter an email address to communicate with you.
• Get advice from a professional to decide if you should create a free or paid blog, which platform to use and other things that will help you achieve your goals. For example, if you want to write your poems and you don't care if many read them, they will most likely advise you to create a free blog. If you want to set up an online store with thousands of products, price management, special offers and more, they will surely advise you on a very different and paid solution.
• Choose the platform on which you will create your blog. There are many platforms where you can create a blog. What are these platforms? Platforms are the tools that help you manage your blog in a simple way. Eye! not easy but simple. My family knows that I have spent more than a thousand sleepless hours trying to find out things about my blogs since each of these tools has its little things. Well, back to the platforms, and I'm not talking about the heels I wore years ago, but rather platforms that help us manage blog content, such as Blogger , Wordpress , Joomla , Tumblr , Drupal and hundreds more. ;) Personally, I am a big fan of Wordpress , but you choose the one you prefer and suits you best.
• The hosting. If you think that hosting is hosting a family or friends gathering, eliminate all platforms that require their own hosting from your list. I'm going to explain what this means. Hosting is where your website, that is, your blog, is hosted. All websites are hosted or live on servers . You can choose to have your blog on your own server or hosting or have it on blogging platforms, such as wordpress.com, blogger, or blogspot. The simplest thing, if it is your first time creating a blog, start with a platform like wordpress.es, blogger.com or Tumblr and you will not have to worry about hosting .

There are many more details that you should consider but the list would be very long. So today we will talk about how to open a free blog in Wordpress and we don't have to deal with more than choosing the name of our blog and how we want it to look.
