Step 1: Purchase hosting and your domain name
      Hosting – this is the engine that powers your site. While you don't "see it", every single website on the Internet has a host powering it.
      Domain – this is like your blog's permanent address. For example, ours is themeisle.com. Check out this post if you need help coming up with a good name.

Step 3: Go ahead and write your first blog post – you earned it!
Now that you learned how to create a WordPress blog, you're probably excited to get to blogging!
We'll show you how to change how your blog looks and functions in a second. But first, let's go over just how easy it is to write a blog post on your new website.

Step 4: Here's how to change how your blog looks
When you create a WordPress blog, one of the major benefits that you get is access to WordPress' huge collection of themes and plugins. Here's a quick overview of the two. As soon as you create a WordPress blog, you already have a theme active. This is either the default WordPress theme or the theme that you chose during the SiteGround Setup Wizard.


How to install a WordPress theme
Once you've found a theme that you love, WordPress makes it easy to add that theme to your site.

     Hover over Appearance
     Select Themes
     Click the Add New button

Step 5: Here's how to add functionality to your blog
While themes are mostly about appearances, plugins are more focused on helping you add functionality to your blog.

When you first create a WordPress blog, you pretty much only have the ability to write blog posts and create pages.

How to install WordPress plugins
We already wrote a detailed guide on how to install WordPress plugins. But here's the quick version:

      Go to Plugins → Add New
      If you chose a free plugin at WordPress.org, search for the plugin by name and click Install Now.
      If you purchased a premium plugin, click the Upload Plugin button and upload the ZIP file you should have received when you purchased the plugin.

What to do after you create a WordPress blog
Ok, so you managed to create a WordPress blog, install your own theme, and add some functionality with plugins.
