Finally, started with personal blogging!

Well, it took lot of time to start personal blogging, but finally managed to get everything in place. Have been blogging at the employer provided blog site, but a personal blog is always lucrative. So here I am, with my personal blog!

How did I do this?

  • Have a personal web site for quite some time, so web hosting is not a big issue.
  • Which blog tool to choose? Obviously, it has to be small and simple. I have limited webspace with my web hosting provider. Also, I have limited content and personal publishing needs, so there is no eager need for an elaborate, multi-user blog tool. At first, I thought of using phpBB and make it as a bulletin board instead, but finally wanted to stay with a blog tool. Did some googling on the best blog tools. Also looked at personal blogs of people I know, like Alec Muffet and Geoff Arnold. Based on what I have seen, WordPress appeared to be the right choice for what I need.
  • Spent about 30 minutes browsing WordPress site and learning what is involved
  • Spent about 15 minutes by installing and using WordPress on a dummy site I have and doing all the silly, experimental stuff there.
  • Then I used the Famous 5 Minute Install of word press for this very blog. Actually, it took lot less than that. May be 2-3 mintues till I configured for my first blog.

Well, thanks for visiting my blog! Keep coming back!
