10 Steps to a Professional Looking Blog

Have you ever taken a look at some of the blogs out there and thought “Man that seems like a lot of work”.?  Here is how you can make the Blog you see before you in the space of 2 Hours!

Broken down into steps here is what I did:

  1. Got Bored of Blogger / Felt I needed more Style
  2. Bought BlueHost space
  3. Read up on how to Migrate to WordPress
  4. Changed my twitter landing page to suit
  5. Installed a Cool Theme
  6. Installed a Plugin that auto hides text in old posts
  7. Used the Migration feature in WordPress to move my Blogger Content
  8. Installed some Search Engine & Admin Plugins
  9. Spent a little time writing an About Page
  10. Started writing this post!

There is a long way to go, I look at blogs like Chris Brogan, or CopyBlogger which are repositories of incredible content… then I look at my own site and think “Man I ramble”.

How to Blog More Effectively

My Problem is usually I cant finish so I’m attempting to alleviate this by following up on my 2010 Goals.

The hope here is that if a goon like me can make a blog like this, Imagine what you could do.  It is a lot easier than it looks & actually quite enjoyable.  Be sure to let me know how it goes for you, and contact me. Give it a go, I mean… Why not?
