First you must decide what you want to blog about. What are your interests, your likes, your dislikes? That's the

best thing about blogging. You can have a successful blog on things that piss you off. People that piss you off.

What ever topic you decide on make sure it is something you are passionate about. Do you enjoy crafting? Are

you more into cooking?

providers" and decide on one.

Templates:

This is the fun part, take your time and go through all the various templates included with your blog providers. If you

are blogging on cooking try and find a "cooking" themes. If your blog is to be about "internet marketing" try and 

find a professional looking template.
