How to start your own blog/website

Hey Girls! I hope you are having a GREAT day (also happy Valentines Day)! Well, I hope you are exited for today's post because today were talking about websites and blogs and videos and that kind of stuff!

Today I will just be sharing the basics, but if you want more posts like this, share that in the comments. Now, let's start . . . starting . . whatever this is?

1. Choose what you blog/website is going to be about

This is an important first step. Try to find soothing about yourself that is original (if possible). Your specialty could be old-fashioned recipes or stop-motion. Choose what you like and what you want to tell others about.

 Q. What if there is already a blog/website under my topic already?

 A. That's okay! You can make yours unique in your branding or the name!

2. Choose a name for your blog/website

Okay. So let's go back to the first step. Remember the ideas? (Stop motion anybody?) Say your name is . . Emma (hope I am not spooking you out if your name is Emma?!?). Your blog or websites name could be Emma's stop-motion.

 Q. What if I can't think of a name?

 A. Its fine! You can still do this later. Maybe an awesome name will come to mind later.

3. Create your brand

So lets break this down a bit. Going back to the stop motion thing. . . lets use THAT. First you will want to create a logo. Here are some tips for that:

- Be minimal 

- Be memorable

- Make it look good (vertical and horizontal)

- Design it for your audience

Next choose a color pallet. To help with this describe how you want your readers to feel when they read your blog/website. (Let's say relaxed for an example) Search "Relaxed color pallet). You can use that.

4. Design your website

This is SO much fun. Right now I use blogger for my websites (I TOTALLY Recommend them), but Squarespace and Wix are helpful too. 

5. Share your site and put to use!

All you have to do now is use your site and share it (The comments)! You can now have a blog or website of your own!
