The first time I encountered a blog, I had done a Google search for a bread recipe. Instead of turning up at all recipes, or recipezaar I ended up in a blog. It's a sad story that I do not remember who that blogger was. But she was famous, and made really good bread. As I looked at her blog, and all the others that I found that same day, I found myself asking, "How do I Start a blog?"
Really, starting a blog is very simple. Here are 4 steps you take when you are ready to start blogging.

Your name is what draws your readers in, your theme determines who will be reading your blog, and your niche determines what you will be writing about. Think about what your passions are. Think about what you could write about daily and not get bored of. Have you seen the movie Julie and Julia? She created a niche, cooking Julia Childs recipes. And because of that she created a following.
Decide who you want to host your blog. There are two main blog hosting venues out there. Blogger and WordPress. The pro's and con's of choosing one of these over the other could be a whole other article, so do your research and decide which is best for your purposes. Usually, when just beginning to blog, most people start with blogger because it is free.
