You can get an under-water drone here in Australia  either in your local drone shop or J B HI FI  or there is a good range available online in shops like Amazon.com.au, Mydeal.com.au, catch.com.au and qysea.com

 

Most unmanned vehicles rules and regulations in Australia fall under the https://aaus.org.au/unmanned-systems/  which deals with rules under three categories

  1. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (mainly air drones)
  2. Unmanned Marine Systems (mainly underwater vehicle  also known as USVs and UUVs)
  3. Unmanned Ground Vehicles ( autonomous cars, trucks …)

Australia right now has a visible regulatory website for drones (airfrafts) Quadcopters in  www.casa.gov.au however there  does not seem to be an online presence for underwater vehicles regulation.

We plan to bring out a more in detailed review with more models, so bookmark our blog to check it out later. In the meantime if you enjoyed reading about this underwater robot  you might like to read about the robot that irons and folds your clothes and the future of toys on our blog.

Why I chose hostgator for blog hosting

June 4, 2022 by admin 6 Comments

Hostgator plans baby hatchling etc and prices

[Post updated 04 June 2022] – I already had hosting with Bluehost , Dreamhost ,  Godaddy  and Pressidium (left) and was looking  for another alternative for one of my Australian blog to get a wordpress webhost . I was searching for one that is good and still cheap for my blog.

With hundreds of different web hosting companies in this industry, choosing the right one can be difficult.  The top three and most recommended web hosting companies at this time were HostGator, BlueHost and DreamHost.[article originally published prior to 2014]

Google Searching on the internet for something, can lead to paralysis by doing too much analysis and so after realising that, I write this post. It can take ages  with so much information overload on the internet by thousands of  bloggers all having their own view of things.

It can be particularly  time consuming searching the  web, when you are searching for a hosting service for blogs/websites, because  the internet is filled with  recommendations  for different website-hosting service providers.

The Servers at Hostgator Hosting

Webhosting is all about quality servers ,where your website lives. HostGator sites are hosted in Dual Xeon servers at Dallas. top-of-the-line Dual Xeon in their data centers at Dallas. The data centers are well equipped and connects to 10 backbone providers. Also, HostGator invest millions of dollars every year in new technologies for better performance. They have about 12,000 servers under management at Houston, Texas in the US.

Yes finding a web host is not an easy task. It is important that you get a good web hosting provider  if you plan to host many blogs or websites on that server. Always look out  for specials on events , but if you cant wait  then below are some deals for you, at this stage I am liking  hostgator  as they have a reputable name  for hosting with wordpress websites  and good service. [Updated I am now with hostgator, godaddy and bluehost  for 10+ years and  a thankful customer to them all]

Hostgator Video Day sale 

Updated deal/discount links below

HostGator’s rich shared hosting packages offer unlimited storage, email, and monthly databases that give business plenty of room to grow. In short, it’s the best service we’ve reviewed for shared hosting packages. As a result, HostGator is our Editors’ Choice pick for shared web hosting services.

Good blog hosting  is hard to find

I chose to do some research   and found “Hostgator” mentioned in many blogs so I decided to research it. First off course is the price factor  and so I checked  their prices for hosting

 

snappy the hostgator alligator

 

I hadn’t really browsed around forums all that much  for hosting before but I knew it would be a place where people were actually talking about why they like or dislike particular hosting companies something and that made a lot of sense.

Prices for Hostgator hosting (2022 Deals)

Here is a list of the pricing for all the shared hosting plans based on a monthly basis.

 

· Hatchling: Perfect for single blog (4.95$/mo)

· Baby Plan: Perfect for multiple Blogs ( 7.95$/mo)

· Business: Multiple Blogs + Private IP + Toll free Number (12.95$/mo)

Special deal 2.95 a month

Choose Your Plan And Get Started Today

By using different webmaster forums to find which hosting companies other people preferred to use, I found out that apart from Bluehost  and  Godaddy and other hosters –  the overall verdict was Hostgator.

HostGator uses cPanel, the most used control panel. You don’t need the help of a geek to use it as its quiet straightforward and simple . It provides everything you need. It is important to have a user friendly interface and these one-click script installers are a boon to all newbies who do not have much experience with these platforms. 1 Click install can help you create a blog in 10 to 15 minutes

The cPanel dashboard is user-friendly and there is a Live chat support available 24/7. You can also contact Hosgtagor on their customer support hotline: 1-866-96-GATOR.

If you are  happy to be more adventurous and choose something other than WordPress for your website, you can also use your hostgator hosting account to install JOOMLA, DRUPAL or MAGENTO (which are all website software similar to wordpress)

Joomla Hosting

HostGator fully supports Joomla, a very powerful and customizable CMS. A wide variety of plugins allow for increased functionality, ensuring your website remains scalable and dynamic for years to come.

Magento Hosting

Start selling online today with your own E-commerce store powered by HostGator and Magento. HostGator’s Business plan gives you everything you need to automatically install Magento, as well as a free dedicated IP and private SSL to accept credit card transactions right from your website.

Drupal Hosting

Develop your website on the Drupal CMS with HostGator! Drupal provides a high level of customization and control over the look and feel of you site. The numerous themes and plugins that are available allow for nearly limitless options.

Features Comparison- Plans and Pricing

HostGator has three web hosting plans, namely the hatching plan, the baby plan and the business plan. The hatchling plan being the basic one which allows you to host only one domain, while the rest can host unlimited domains.

The other good option I liked over here at hostgator was that Customers are not required to sign up for any contract longer than month to month service. They also have Web Hosting With support  24/7 Support Via Phone, Live Chat, and Email!

I also found out that According to Inc. Magazine, HostGator it is the 21st fastest growing private company in America With their current pricing it looks quite good  as well –> Unlimited Domain Hosting Only $9.95 a Month  so I decided to give them a shot.

Here is one of thier recent  promo ad pictures.

Top 10 Software Programs For Your Windows PC

February 13, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

We all have computers at home or at office and they are some programs or software that we just can’t do without for the daily personal work or office work. These program or tools are suitable for most windows based PC’s.

This list of programs are essential software for every computer user

While a lot of the time, people stick to free and trial software which can sometimes do the job, many a time this software is kind of limited in features due to it being free.  If your looking for a good deal, then Black Friday and cyber Monday (a US online discount day) is one of the days that most online software goes at a discount and it’s a good time to get an online deal related to computers even if you are in Australia.

Today I bring you this essential list of software that most computer owners should have on their computer.

Some of these are free/trial software and some of them you pay to get the full versions.


 

1. ANTIVIRUS

While windows inbuilt antivirus security tool does a good job of blocking nasties on your computer, it is always good to get a good antivirus just to have that extra little bit of protection when your online.

Get an antivirus and computer security software bundled in one . Top providers are AVG, Mcafee, Norton, Bitdefender (check our entire recommended list here). Many of them offer Free trial limited versions which you can use for a long time.

anti virus

 

2. Unzip utility  / Zipped file extractor

Have you ever heard of winzip or winrar. Its that program that lets you unpack or unzip a locked  or zipped folder and see and use the contents within.

The WinZip file archiver creates archives in ZIP format by default, and can open archives of all popular compressed formats: ZIP, ZIPX, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZIP, VHD, XZ, and POSIX TAR

The most popular programs are winzip and winrar, but there are others too. Winzip has a black friday deal on. Google it.

Capture unzipped

There is a  entirely free version that  you can use called 7 ZIP. 7-Zip is free software with open source. The most of the code is under the GNU LGPL license.

free unzip tool

Its available for download here. https://www.7-zip.org/

Supported formats:

  • Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
  • Unpacking only: AR, ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DMG, EXT, FAT, GPT, HFS, IHEX, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, QCOW2, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, UEFI, VDI, VHD, VMDK, WIM, XAR and Z.

3. Photo Image Editor

Most windows PC’s come with paint tool, however that is just not enough to get photos enhanced or fixed or if your kids want to do their homework. Some good photo tools are Paintshop Pro, Adobe photo shop, Paint.net Gimp.

An online subscription photo editor CANVA  is of great value if you want to create  good graphics easy and quick with a large in built library. If you want an online photo or image editor then Pixlr will do the trick.

Tools like these also help touch up photos taken on your smartphone or camera.

photo and image editor buy

 

4. Mp3  Downloader/Player

So you need songs to entertain yourself on your pc.

One of the most popular song programs is spotify, youtube or google music today which runs on a monthly subscription model. There are  good value if you like to listen to fresh and old music and create your own playlists.

There are websites like mp3jam and software like Audials that gets mp3s for you from popular online streaming websites.

Music Bee and Foobar are good mp3 music player programs to have ( Winamp used to be my favorite at one time)

MX player is a good Mp3 player for your smartphone

stream youtube online ripper

 

5. Desktop program/ Icon Organiser

I use fences for organising all the shortcuts that gets created on my desktop for programs that get installed on my computer.

You can manually organise all program or folder shortcuts onto your desktop with windows, however fences by stardock can help make your desktop look cool and clean while still organising it in a good way.

desktop funny

 

You can set it up so that the icons show only when the mouse is on top of it or you can make the icons on desktop blend into the background. Many more cool  customisation features are available.

 

6. PDF opener/ editor

Adobe is one of the leading programs for PDFs and they are good.

If you are looking to get pdf editors then have a look at this website for more programs. https://www.softpedia.com/hubs/Edit-PDF/ .

You can also get free programs from Microsoft store.

 

7. Microsoft Word /Powerpoint software

Today software like Microsoft word and PowerPoint, Publisher is essential for you or then for your kid’s homework. Microsoft software is not cheap and there are alternatives that will do the job like Google docs & Libre office.

Many schools and Uni’s offer student deals for office 365 and Microsoft software

 

8. VPN Software

If you like watching shows that are available in other countries and are getting blocked or if you want to anonymously download or browse websites then a VPN is what you need. Most VPN’s are easy to set up today with a few clicks.

They also enhance your PC security while browsing or downloading bit torrents due to not leaving any IP footprints. Popular VPN software is NORD VPN, Froot VPN, IP vanish, Express vpn and more.

Here is an entire list on our blog.

froot vpn australia

 

VPN are also getting popular due to Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney plus. With a VPN you can check and watch shows  that are exclusive to other countries Netflix users and watch it . I know Breaking bad was available in many countries via netflix before Australia.

9. Movie and Media player

The best media player for years is VLC media player. You throw any file format at it and it will play it. People use it more for playing Movies though rather than mp3s. Get VLC media player here. It’s free.

https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html.

I also like GOM Player and MX player, but there are other popular software today like KM player, AIMP and the free windows media player.

DLNA software for tv streaming

[Plex streaming player for your movies and videos on computer via wifi]

Good DLNA/WIFI players to stream/play movies to your other devices or on your TV around the home is KODI and PLEX.

Emby server is another easy to use Home movie server  to play movies on your TV or tablet.

10. Best screen capture tool

If you want to capture your computer screen or screen that you are browsing on the internet – the best free tool to use is windows snipper (snipper tool old version). ( the new screen snip introduced in Windows 10 is crap)

I use screen hunter to get that little bit of extra more flexibility when capturing the screen and you can set easy key shortcuts to open the program if you’re a regular user.

If you want heaps of utilities with your screen capture for free then  ShareX software is another option.

screen hunter tool capture tool

Microsoft has just updated their new snip tool in windows 10, but  I already dont like their update as it does not have user friendly save options.

11. Free space on my computer

There are software’s that will analyse your computer and tell you which stuff on the computer is taking the most space.

So, you can run this program and then delete stuff to make more space on your computer.

This program I use is wiztree  for this. Its good  to keep it handy – as a full computer makes your computer run slow and sluggish just like a full tummy. This tool makes it makes it easy to reduce storage of unwanted large files by  giving an idea of size of files on your pc so that  you can delete unwanted ones.

Auslogics Duplicate finder tool is also a good tool to find duplicate files on your computer taking up a lot of space.

12. Belarc advisor

find computer information specs

This is useful program to have to see all the hardware and software specs of your computer. It will run checks on your computer and tell your how much memory it has, what operating system it has, what hard drives it has, what processor and circuit board it runs and much more information that you would expect that it would extract.

It is good information to give your PC repair guy if he needs it or to check if you need to upgrade hardware on your computer. If you want to find out your windows  software keys for your windows 10,7,8  or your windows office keys then the Jellybean key finder software might also help you.

Lin to software: Belarc Advisor | Belarc, Inc.


Hope you enjoyed my list of essential software for your  windows pc.  My top go to for downloading tools or searching for software are mostly direct from publisher sites or then I use these handy sites like softpedia or cnet download  en.softonic.com and fosshub.

Some other programs while not essential, I can recommend are

  • Filezilla for FTP
  • Camtasia Screen recorder for screen video capture

I do have heaps to add to this post and I can go on recommending tools that I use or have used previously, but I will keep it to 12 for now and add at a later stage.


Let me know if you ended up downloading any of these tools and how did you go.

Blосkсhаіn

If уоu’vе аttеmрtеd to dіvе іntо thіѕ mysterious thіng саllеd blockchain, уоu’d be forgiven for recoiling іn hоrrоr аt the ѕhееr opaqueness оf thе tесhnісаl jаrgоn thаt is оftеn uѕеd tо frаmе іt. So before wе get іntо whаt a сrуtросurrеnсу is and how blосkсhаіn tесhnоlоgу might сhаngе thе wоrld, let’s dіѕсuѕѕ whаt blockchain асtuаllу is.

In the simplest terms, a blосkсhаіn іѕ a dіgіtаl lеdgеr оf trаnѕасtіоnѕ, not unlіkе thе ledgers wе hаvе bееn uѕіng fоr hundrеdѕ оf уеаrѕ tо rесоrd ѕаlеѕ аnd purchases. Thе function оf thіѕ dіgіtаl lеdgеr іѕ, іn fact, рrеttу much іdеntісаl tо a trаdіtіоnаl ledger іn that іt rесоrdѕ dеbіtѕ аnd сrеdіtѕ between реорlе. Thаt is thе core соnсерt behind blосkсhаіn; thе difference іѕ who holds thе ledger аnd whо vеrіfіеѕ thе transactions.

With trаdіtіоnаl transactions, a payment frоm one person to аnоthеr іnvоlvеѕ some kіnd of іntеrmеdіаrу to facilitate the trаnѕасtіоn.

Lеt’ѕ ѕау Rоb wants to transfer £20 to Melanie.

He саn еіthеr give her саѕh іn the form оf a £20 nоtе, оr he can use ѕоmе kіnd оf bаnkіng app to transfer thе mоnеу dіrесtlу tо hеr bаnk account. In bоth cases, a bаnk іѕ thе іntеrmеdіаrу verifying the trаnѕасtіоn: Rоb’ѕ fundѕ аrе vеrіfіеd whеn he takes the money out оf a саѕh mасhіnе, or thеу are verified bу thе app when hе makes thе digital transfer. Thе bank dесіdеѕ іf the trаnѕасtіоn ѕhоuld gо ahead. The bank аlѕо hоldѕ thе rесоrd оf аll transactions mаdе bу Rоb, and is ѕоlеlу responsible fоr uрdаtіng іt whеnеvеr Rоb рауѕ ѕоmеоnе оr receives mоnеу іntо hіѕ ассоunt. In other wоrdѕ, the bank holds аnd controls the lеdgеr, and everything flоwѕ through thе bаnk.

Thаt’ѕ a lоt оf rеѕроnѕіbіlіtу, ѕо іt’ѕ important thаt Rоb fееlѕ hе саn trust his bank оthеrwіѕе hе wоuld nоt rіѕk hіѕ mоnеу with them. He nееdѕ to feel соnfіdеnt thаt thе bank wіll not dеfrаud hіm, wіll nоt lоѕе hіѕ money, wіll not bе rоbbеd, аnd will nоt dіѕарреаr оvеrnіght.

Thіѕ need fоr truѕt hаѕ undеrріnnеd рrеttу muсh every mаjоr behaviour аnd fасеt of thе mоnоlіthіс fіnаnсе іnduѕtrу, tо the еxtеnt that even whеn іt wаѕ discovered thаt bаnkѕ wеrе being irresponsible with our mоnеу during thе fіnаnсіаl сrіѕіѕ of 2008, thе government (another іntеrmеdіаrу) chose tо bаіl thеm оut rather thаn rіѕk dеѕtrоуіng thе fіnаl fragments of truѕt bу lеttіng them соllарѕе.

Blосkсhаіnѕ ореrаtе dіffеrеntlу in one kеу respect: thеу аrе entirely dесеntrаlіѕеd. There іѕ no сеntrаl clearing hоuѕе lіkе a bаnk, and thеrе is nо сеntrаl ledger hеld bу оnе еntіtу. Instead, the lеdgеr іѕ distributed асrоѕѕ a vаѕt nеtwоrk of соmрutеrѕ, саllеd nodes, each оf whісh hоldѕ a сору of thе еntіrе lеdgеr on their rеѕресtіvе hard drіvеѕ.

Thеѕе nоdеѕ аrе connected to one аnоthеr vіа a ріесе of ѕоftwаrе саllеd a рееr-tо-рееr (P2P) сlіеnt, whісh ѕуnсhrоnіѕеѕ dаtа асrоѕѕ thе nеtwоrk оf nоdеѕ аnd mаkеѕ ѕurе thаt еvеrуbоdу hаѕ thе ѕаmе vеrѕіоn of thе ledger аt any given point in tіmе.

Whеn a nеw trаnѕасtіоn іѕ еntеrеd іntо a blockchain, іt іѕ first еnсrурtеd uѕіng state-of-the-art cryptographic technology. Onсе encrypted, thе transaction іѕ converted tо something called a block, which іѕ basically thе term uѕеd fоr an еnсrурtеd group оf new transactions. Thаt blосk іѕ then sent (or brоаdсаѕt) into thе nеtwоrk оf соmрutеr nodes, where іt is vеrіfіеd bу thе nоdеѕ аnd, оnсе vеrіfіеd, раѕѕеd on thrоugh thе nеtwоrk ѕо that the blосk can bе аddеd tо the еnd of thе ledger on еvеrуbоdу’ѕ соmрutеr, under thе lіѕt оf аll рrеvіоuѕ blосkѕ. Thіѕ іѕ called thе сhаіn; hence thе tесh іѕ rеfеrrеd tо аѕ a blосkсhаіn.

Onсе аррrоvеd аnd rесоrdеd іntо thе lеdgеr, thе trаnѕасtіоn can bе соmрlеtеd. This іѕ hоw cryptocurrencies like Bіtсоіn work.

The Best Social Media Platforms for Marketing a Gaming App

July 19, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

socail media image australia

Once you’ve created a gaming app, the next step is to think about how you’re going to promote it. Naturally, the more people who see your app, the more downloads you’ll receive. When you consider that there are over 2.5 billion gamers across the world, it’s easy to see that one of the best ways to market your app would be by turning to social media. To yield the results you want, here are five of the best social media platforms to market your gaming app on.

Facebook

Facebook attracts over 2.6 billion users worldwide every month, making it by far the most popular social media channel. To get your gaming app noticed, there are a variety of methods you can use to engage audiences, such as by creating an official brand page, joining gaming communities, and posting regular content, video, and imagery. You can also use Facebook Ads that appear in the feed of your targeted users as posts that are labelled as ‘sponsored’.

Instagram

Instagram has more than 1 billion engaged users from across the globe, making it another social media channel you should tap into to promote your gaming app. If you decide on using Instagram, your ads need to include eye-catching visuals. You must also strategically use hashtags to boost the visibility of your posts. Instagram is home to thousands of gaming influencers who you can partner with in improving your audience reach.

Twitter

Twitter is home to more than 300 million users, 37% of which are between the ages of 18 and 30. If your gaming app is primarily designed for a younger audience, Twitter is the perfect place to showcase it. Like with Instagram, you must use the correct hashtags to boost the audience reach of your posts. Whether you’ve created a betting app for online pokies, or adventure gaming is your forte, many gaming app developers use Twitter as a marketing channel.

TikTok

TikTok is one of the newer social media platforms that gaming app developers can’t ignore. Since the channel has roughly 1 billion active users monthly, the platform is great for targeting a younger teen audience. Content shared on TikTok is fun and quirky too, making it ideal for mobile games. Although this platform is still young, TikTok may become just as popular as Instagram and Facebook in the near future, meaning it makes sense to use this platform to promote.

YouTube

YouTube is another important social media channel for mobile game publishers. The reason for this is simple: it’s all about video. To give audiences an idea of what to expect from your gaming app, you can publish trailers, gameplay videos, and even podcasts to advertise your app. Make sure you interact regularly with your audience to build a community, and most importantly, boost your download count.

Even if you believe your mobile game is one of a kind, unless the right people see it, you can’t expect a surge in downloads. Social media is an inexpensive, effective way to build your brand and help you market your app to the right audience.

I am going to give you the most detailed and easy to set up guide to get your shiny new blog started today, so there is no more reasons for you to slack off and you can get it literally started today – Like now!

Installing and Setting up a wordpress blog Easily


 

I have created tutorials on getting your website started before, but people have given me feedback that it’s not detailed enough and had too much fluff . So here is a brand new one.

This is a  “barebones get your blogging started today” kind of guide with as many pictures as i could gather –  that I could include in one mega post . So don’t be shy and get started with your online venture already!

I deal with many hosting companies and bluehost is one of my favourite hosting companies. I recommend them just because they are always priced nice and affordable and have reliable hosting and they are also easy to use.

In fact they have been the top recommended hosting company by wordpress.org. I also recommend the “WordPress CMS” which is one of the easiest to use website software.They are many top Australian websites using wordpress including HeraldSun which uses the more pricey enterprise version VIP wordpress.

Below is the main hosting pricing plans for blue host called the

  • Basic plan
  • Plus plan
  • Pro plan.

[Prices for hosting plans below]

The plus plan is most popular for a reason, if you decide to start another blog then you can use the same hosting account for more blogs – anywhere up to 10 blogs.

Off course the basic plan makes sense if you are just starting out and on a budget, which most of us are.

I know when I was looking to start my first blog, the price was the most important factor in addition to reliability of the provider

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Special Promotion Offer” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ text_font=”Arial||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” inline_fonts=”Amaranth,Alice”]

Special Promotion Offer for 2021 from Digital GROG + BLUEHOST

 Bluehost  Hosting Special deal for 2021

Deal : Its not often that you get such a good hosting offer from bluehost at Current updated deal for 2021 
Shared Basic Hosting Package Now Only $2.95 for 36 Months! one low price
[Most plans include one free domain]

 

The next couple of steps  to start a blog, could easily be done in a couple of minutes.

 

Step 1 – Choose a hosting plan that is suitable for you

 

clip_image004

At this stage, click on select – after selecting your plan if you have not got a domain and you are making use of the free domain name with your bluehost plan, you can then search for that free domain name over here.

 

Step 2 – Choose your  domain name

If you already got a domain name that you want to use with this webhosting account then you can transfer it to your blog hosting as well on this screen.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Enter domain name” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Arial||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” inline_fonts=”Alice”]

Step 3  – Provide the Name and details for billing  and your confirmation emails 

Next you put in your payment details and then go to the next step of choosing your plan and optional extras you would choose.

 

 

clip_image008

To get the $3.95 deal you will need to get the 36 month webhosting plan. I will be honest and tell you, that I thought this to be a trick to get me to sign up for a longer period. But in fact it saved me money over the longer period when I purchased my first hosting as the price rose the next year.

I managed to escape that price rise due to being on a longer plan. But you can choose a plan according to your ownr budget  and affordability.

At the minimum, I would recommend you get the domain privacy and site back up pro as optional extras, if you can afford it.

The domain privacy stops people from snooping on your name and address which would need to be listed in the registration details when you buy a domain name.

The site back up is regular backups of your website  that the hosting company  keeps just in case of any emergency  or hacking  of website by outsiders.

 

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Choosing a Plan or Package” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Arial||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” inline_fonts=”Alice”]

Step 4 –  Select  your Plan or Package and any Optional extras

 

clip_image010

Please note down your login email/name and password that you will register with bluehost to login into WP admin later.

When you finish purchasing your hosting, you can login to your hosting account immediately with the login and password details.

Below is the wordpress backend cpanel sitehosting screen once you login top admin area. The website login area is different from this login area.

 

Step 5  – Click on the install word-press icon

 

clip_image012

 

 

Step 6 – Install WordPress

You will see this screen next (to start a brand new wordpress blog install), click start

clip_image013

 

 

Step 7 –  Select the free domain name you got or then the domain name you transferred in this screen and then click to install your blog

clip_image015

The wordpress website/blog installation process will begin now.

WordPress can be customised to be used as a blog or a business website. All you need to do is change the theme to change the blog design and look of the blog/website to any sort of website you need.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Final step: Blog is installing” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ text_font=”Arial||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ inline_fonts=”Alice” sticky_enabled=”0″]

 

 

Step 9  –  Blog is installing

 

Themes are available on the internet from as low as $10 a theme and also for free from within your wordpress blog.

 

clip_image017

 

That’s it, follow the instructions on the next pages to finish, and your blog should get installed in the next couple of minutes and you should be ready to blog.

 

You will get sent an email with login details

 

Your blog is ready and set up, now all you have to do is write content and tweak your blog further if you need by logging into the admin area of your  blog.

 

I suggest you first  write up and article or two  on your blog as your first priority and then explore further  options from within your admin area over a period of time  to improve your website functionality, design and SEO.

 

Remember that this special price of $3.95 a month can be claimed by our digital grog readers by signing up from this tutorial here and you get this special price for 36 months + a free domain name.

The type of web host you choose is an incredibly important choice for what type of website you create. The type of server you choose impacts elements like performance, security, scalability, and management level of your website. Shared hosting is a great choice for beginners and smaller websites. It’s cost-effective and doesn’t require lots of technical knowledge to get started.

The good thing about getting a bluehost hosting account is that they not only offer other popular website software like Drupal and Joomla apart from word-press, but also offer a range of other software’s like Coppermine (you can create your own image gallery online which other people can contribute too), PHBB forums (you can create a forum of your own) and many more useful scripts.

I hope this detailed picture tutorial helped you in some way. Do leave me a comment below to show you luv or just ask a question and I will try to answer it soon as I can. Let me know if there is anything worth adding to this tutorialonce you have gone through the same process and I shall add it in or update in a new post.

Good luck on your new journey!!
