I have taken up a web-hosting plan and gotten a free domain name from BlueHost. Finally, my personal Blog is up and running. So, welcome to my Blog!

This is the first post of my personal Blog and I have been asking myself what I shall write about in this opening post. Well, after thinking for a while, I feel that it is better to make things natural by writing whatever is coming to my mind. After all, this is what Blogging is all about, isn’t it?

Actually, I have three Blogs altogether but this Blog is my first personal one. I have had taken up a WordPress Jumpstart short course that was set up by my friend and his business partners one year ago. That was the time that I got to know about using WordPress platform to start a Blog although I knew very little about Blogging.

I thought that Blogging is the toy of celebrities, teenagers, journalists, etc. in the past. However, I was wrong after joining the WordPress Jumpstart course because anybody can set up his or her own Blog quite easily by following what we have had learnt in the course.

Frankly speaking, I have to admit that setting up a WordPress Blog and get it hosted on a paid web hosting with a purchased domain name is not something that is easy to do if you don’t have the technical know-how.

It won’t be as easy as setting up a Blog on a free hosting such as the Blogger.com. Probably, this is the reason as to why some people still prefer to host their Blogs on Blogger.com, Multiply.com, WordPress.com, etc. to getting a paid one. But for me, I still prefer to get my Blog hosted on a paid web-hosting service to a free one so that I can have more control over my own Blog site and won’t have to worry about my Blog being shut down by the free web-hosting service provider without prior notice.

So, that is my web hosting preference. Now, you do know how I started my Blogging journey, don’t you?
