WordPress is what we will build the blog on and yes it’s free :)
You can research the best blog platforms (software) available or you can let us save you some time: Use WordPress.
WordPress (WP) is extremely powerful, has been around several years, has a massive user community, and its developers are constantly updating it.
WordPress is pretty “simple” right out of the box. It was designed to let everyday people easily set up a blog and start sharing their stories on the internet.
If you ever have a question about something on WordPress the answer is found in a simple Google search 99% of the time.
There are thousands of different “plug ins” you can install to make WordPress function exactly the way you want it.
Today you will install WordPress on your own hosting account so that when you visit your domain name it shows your new blog. The good thing about Hostgator is they have a “1 click Install” for WordPress.
