How To Start A Wordpress Blog
Here’s a site that may be very helpful for those who like to do things on their own.
Those of you looking to start a real estate blog may want to hire a professional to assist you. A quick Google search will help you find out who can help you build a real estate blog. But some people just like to do things on their own. If you’re the latter, you will find this WordPress Quick Start a useful resource. The topics covered in the videos include:
- How to choose and sign up for a web host for your WordPress blog
- How to install WordPress using cPanel and Fantastico
- Basic WordPress configuration
- Creating posts and pages in WordPress
The site was started by Sarah Lewis, who says, “Right now there are only a few videos, but enough to help you sign up for hosting, install WordPress, and get started blogging. Future videos will cover how to install plugins and themes.”
Check it out.

Great guidance for anyone in the real estate business. When the market weakens like it is now, you have to pull out all the stops to make things happen.
Very good post. My cousin is a real estate agent and I am trying to get him to setup a blog. It is a great way to let people get to know your style and personality and I’m sure it a fantastic way to grow a your business as many blogs will rank highly in the search engines.
In my area there is an agent who blogs regularly and I read it everyday to see what is happening in the market from an insider’s point of view.
Jeff - Great information for someone just starting out. I have a Wordpress blog and love it. I will send this post to agents I know looking to start one as well.
It is nice article! Thanks, good info!
