How To Set Up A WordPress Blog & Website

Over a year ago, I discovered Angie Makes on Creative Market, which is a great place to purchase and get free goods like graphics, WordPress themes, icons, fonts, etc. Careful, it can get addicting! Everything in the Angie Makes shop was gorgeous, so I started browsing her website.

I wanted to share a how-to she has on her site that really helped me with setting up this site. I had worked in WordPress for years, but I had never set up a site with a hosting provider starting from scratch. This page is a great resource if you are interested in going it on your own. If you get frustrated trying to authenticate your domain with Google or other web services, let me know!

Here are the three basic steps to getting set up on WordPress.

1. PURCHASE A DOMAIN NAME & HOSTING

2. INSTALL WORDPRESS

3. MAKE IT PRETTY
