Help me understand blog talk!!!

Need to understand the basic blogging terms like blog, WordPress, domain, web host, WordPress, content management system?  Here is an easy four step guide that takes just minutes to get your head straight so you can start a blog.   It uses the analogy of opening a physical store.

Confused about words like blog, WordPress, domain?

Don’t feel at all stupid.  I put this together after attending almost a dozen in-person WordPress 101 classes and realizing about half the class was lost as soon as the as those terms came up.  In the fourth class, I finally shakily raised my hand and offered this clarification.  While the instructor (a tech person) was a bit put-off by my analogy, many in the class told them it immediately helped them “align their brains!”

So, below is that quick way to get your brain aligned!  Take a couple of minutes to get this set in your mind. If you are a newbie, I promise it will help.  And it will make starting a blog which you can then do here (and I’ll walk you through that too).  

Starting a blog is like opening a new store
