You should start understanding the basics.
Blogger is an online blogging tool hosted and offered by whoever its owner is.
Wordpress.COM also has a similar service > see there!
Here we are the wordpress.ORG people where you can download the stand-alone software called WordPress to be installed on your own domain/host.
How do you install it: whether in the root of the site or in a subfolder… it’s completely up to you. But yes, you have to install it.
And you can place links back and forth as many as you want – just know some basic html 🙂
(just out of curiosity: what software do you use for your present diary/blog?)
I don’t have a blog yet. Just a design in Photoshop that I have for my front page. I am learning all programs at once and am trying not to freak. Dreamweaver is probably next but I’m not sure if I’ll be starting with that and then Contribute or WordPress and then back to Dreamweaver. All design will be done in photoshop. One page at a time. Page one is done. Next comes the diary (blog). And I’m not sure where to turn next.
And I’m not sure where to turn next.
Turn off Dreamweaver 🙂 – if you want a WP blog and never touch any WP file with DW.
And from a PS “design”… there is a long way to a WordPress theme – which is the part that defines the lokk/layout of your blog.
As for the approach: for me the first thing always is – knowing the content and the structure of the content of the site. All the ‘design’ things come after… but everybody is different.
