Today you will learn how to create your own self-hosted WordPress blog.

You can start a free blog on a free platform, but you wouldn’t build a house on rented land, would you? The cost of starting your blog and getting your domain name (that’s the .com, .co.uk, etc) is just £57.54 a year, or £4.80 a month. I don’t know many other hobbies that cost that little every month, and this one can turn into a business.

I have put together a very simple tutorial for starting your blog with self hosted WordPress, so click the link to be taken there. You can follow along step by step by following the screenshots or the video. You can get your blog started in less than an hour!
