BloggingSupport.com is run/managed/organised by Paul Savage and is offered via BlackDog.ie. Paul has vast experience in running various types of blogs over the last 5 years. We also offer WordPress service where you can get us to upgrade your latest wordpress installation, or have a blog strategy consultation.

Setting up a Domain

First steps first, you will need to choose a domain name, or a web address. There are some websites like blogspot that will give you a free subdomain i.e. http://jobsireland.blogspot.com , provided by Blogger.com.  But if you wanted to register a domain on it’s own, it will cost around $10.

Setting up a Hosting

Free domain blogs typically come with hosting, and even if you get your own domain you can get free hosting. In this game you get what you pay for, and for about $5/month you can get great hosting with email service.

For hosting we recommend that you get hosting in the country you operate, so if you are in Germany you should get a German host. We have worked with many international hosting organisations and we will find the best one for you.

Setting up your Blog

Once we have done this, it’s time for us to set up a blog. This involved creating a database and uploading some files to your server. Some of the files we upload will be tailored so they work on your website structure.

Designing your Blog

The default design may not be what you want, so we can create a new one for you.

You and your Blog

From here on in you  can start to post about your favourite topics in your blog. Publishing a new page is really easy, we will make sure you know how to do this with our training materials.

Search Engine Optimization of Blog

If you want we can look at your blog and make subtle changes that the search engines (google.com / yahoo.com / aol.com) will like. You want your blog to be as high as possible in the rankings and we can help you reach your goals.

Analytics and Promotion of your blog

Another part of running a blog is analysis of your blog’s traffic. Knowing what people are searching for and how they are finding your blog. But knowing these things we can rinse and repeat and try to increase the number of visitors coming to your blog. Promoting your blog encoporates a number of things, from advertising/sponsorship etc. If you have a budget to promote your blog, we can make sure you get the best value for your buck.
