What do I need to set up a blog ?
Blog is short for weblog, which simply means a series of online posts presented in reverse chronological order. That’s all!
Most blogs have text content, but there are also photo blogs and video blogs.

If you want to set up a blog, you will need a platform, a web host, and a domain.
A blogging platform is a computer software program that allows you to write posts and to update your blog. Your platform is also what you use to design the look of your blog, from color scheme to font size. On my blogs I use the WordPress platform because it’s easy to install, configure and work with.
The web host is sort of like the virtual file cabinet where your blog is stored. Your computer communicates with the host when you upload or edit a post.
The domain is the online address of your blog, and usually ends in ‘dot com’.
